Perfect 👌🏼 — a year ago
I had and loved the ‘19 a few months ago and the ‘20 is just as good. When you want to show a wine newbie what a classic Pouilly-Fume is, this 50-year old vine cuvée is your example. So many examples are over-the-top lean and so herbie/grassy, but this one’s nose has ripe apple and gooseberry, loads of flinty minerality, and just a touch of freshly picked green herbies. So fresh and inviting. Mouthfilling and zesty, so minerally on the palate. Again, just the barest trace of green herbs. — a month ago
Paired with lobster crepes and tile fish. Melon and citrus with bright mineral finish. — 14 days ago
2017 vintage: first: just delicious and compulsively drinkable. The lush white fruit and apricot (soft and lengthy finish) is balanced by an interjection of salinity on the finish which just makes a person smile. You don’t get that in American Chardonnay. Someone else commented on perceiving cheese rind in a tug of war with orchard fruits…. I can see that as well! This is a ridiculous value! Buy. Some. Now! — 14 days ago

Sipping Fine Wine
In southern Burgundy, at the northern border of Beaujolais, lies the Pouilly-Fuisse appellation. Pale lemon with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and sweet floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and lemon citrus with notes of honey and vanilla oak. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity and ends with minerality. Consistent quality! Nice! Good value! — a day ago
