2023 Domaine Joly Poulsard

94 Points, Kasia  Sobiesiak, TWF - "This IS ethereal. Light, translucent colour, lifted perfume… But don’t let it fool you, this pretty-looking baby has a grip. There’s plenty of fine savoury detail here. The base is defined by rhubarb and wild strawberries with a decaying edge, damp forest, dead flowers—all in a positive, intriguing way. It has great energy and despite the grip, the texture is fine, reminiscent of wet clay. The nature of tannins could take you to Italy. Not a bad thing. There are crushed rocks here and cinnamon bark, too. It’s a wine that you want to get a snack with and chat. Compelling."
