Dom. de Bel Air 2021 Pouilly Fume 'Cuvee Riquette'

“Cuvée Riquette” derives from parcels of old vines planted in “Caillottes” (clay and limestone) and represents the third different wine we have bought from this admirable woman-run estate. All the virtues of the estate wine, with a little extra flair and concentration.
