Yves Grassa’s 2008 Domaine de Pouy – a blend of Ugni Blanc and Colombard – smells typically of clover, herbs, and grasses, lime, and pineapple. A delicacy; an efficacy of ripe acidity; and an invigorating intimation of peach fuzz and salt in the finish, all make this year’s cuvee especially appealing. Keep this on hand in your refrigerator (not the same bottle, of course!) over the coming 6-9 months. Imported by Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
