2006 Domaine de Pouy

[VouvrayHead]

I searched and saw several posts on this in the past (different vintages).

I've been drinking this stuff by the bucket since I moved back to St Louis, but never posted on it.

Light, crisp, minerally, citrusy ugni blanc (this is actually a production of the Tariquet family, who make a really nice Armagnac I'm working on).

Great stuff for $7-$9, but I post now because this vintage at least is taking short-term aging surprisingly well.
It's taking on some light honeyed, musky noted that are quite attractive.

I had extra of this vintage from my wedding, so I'm drinking this stuff a year older than usual, and I'm really surprised at how nice it is right now.

I love this wine, but I figured it was the white equivalent of beaujolais non-cru in terms of aging.

The wine world is full of surprises.
