We have enjoyed some delicious bottles of Bouchard Pouilly Fuisse, and I was delighted to spot this bottle with the majestic Bouchard label on the shelf at Costco for only $11. The Pouilly Fuisse, of course, sells for more than twice that price. This Heritage du Conseiller, however, is not Pouilly Fuisse; nor is it even from the Maconnais. It is a humble Vin de France, meaning that the grapes can come from anywhere in France. They were, though, apparently well chosen and well handled.
Medium deep yellow. Fresh scents of flowers and fruit. Bright flavors of lime, peach and yellow apple. Medium to light bodied with more acidity and lesss sweetness than a New World Chardonnay. For $11 to $15, this is an excellent every day choice. And if you see Bouchard's Pouilly Fuisse for a comparable price, please let me know.
