The 2022 Les Racines is a round, fuller-bodied style of Pouilly-Fumé that starts out well and offers an attractive fragrance. However, it progresses and reveals a twist of phenolic bitterness and a sense of hard chewiness. The final spoiler is the alcohol (14% ), which makes for a rather hot finish and shortens the wine.
