2023 | Michel Redde et Fils Barre à Mine | Pouilly-Fumé
The 2023 Barre à Mine starts up round and open. It is more expressive aromatically at this early stage compared to other flint-based vineyards, but perhaps that’s due to the young vines. This is delicate but rather pretty with touches of floral and nectarine. It may not be the most concentrated expression, but this is rather open and has an alcohol-tinged ripeness on the finish (13.5%). The 2023 finishes taut and ungenerous as if it is stuck in a straitjacket and trying to wriggle out. There is a lot of potential for this site.
