This is a really nice Pouilly-Fuisse, an AOC I generally think is overvalued. Bright nose has limestone minerality, bright apple and pear fruit, wet straw, and the barest hint of barrel spice. Lower-toned on the palate than the nose suggests, it’s relaxed and deeply-flavored, lots of fruit and crushed rock minerality. Medium acids. Nice balance and depth. — 21 days ago

Johann’s sister and a very very rare wine. Nose has huge granite, red and black berry fruit but it’s more on the redder side. But granitic minerals dominate. Very different than Johann. Palate is wonderful. Granite driven and has great freshness as a result of that and tons of red berry fruit and luscious tannjns. So juicy and just shimmering. Especially for a a Cornas. Long. Really long. Superb. The structure is classic Cornas but the bright granitic minerality is unique to this wine. I’ll track this with air. As this airs it gets so much silkier. Wow. This is so good. Mid now is getting more opulent. Really silky, sexy wine. Almost a 9.6. — 2 years ago

Could be better than the 16, too early to tell. Off the truck drinking again. Trying to find it is the difficult part.
Winery notes,

This wine, full of character, comes from selected individual vineyards in the location Giatl, stocked with vines grafted to slow growing rootstock and trained on wire trellises (Guyot). This extraordinary Pinot Grigio flourishes under outstanding climatic conditions on a stony, sandy and extremely chalky soil in the valley floor around the center of Cortina s.s.d.v. The favourable location of the vineyards, ideal sunshine, and the good ventilation of the berries assures the excellent quality of the grapes of this varietal, that is also a representative of the Burgundy family.
Yield per hectare: 45 hl.
Vinification: The grapes are pressed and the stems are removed in the pneumatic tank press. Before being pressed, a short cold maceration takes place in order to enhance the fruitiness of the wine. Afterwards, the grapes are gently pressed and clarified through the natural settling of sediments. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in small casks of French oak in which this particular wine acquires complexity through its twelvemonth aging and ripening on the yeast. After bottling, several further months of aging takes place for completion before this unique white wine, furnished with its ultramodern bottle, goes on sale.
