The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé En Bertilionne comes from vines planted in the 1950s on the border of the appellation next to Mâcon-Solutré, located on pink marn soils. It is exposed to the wind and is prone to oïdium. It has a discrete bouquet, reluctantly offering yellow fruit and oily aromas. A faint touch of menthol might become accentuated with bottle age. The palate is crisp, fresh and well-balanced. A pleasant bitter lemon note counterbalances what feels like a slightly richer style of Pouilly-Fuissé. Perhaps it doesn't fully possess the same complexity on the finish as other vintages I have tasted. Nevertheless, it will age well in bottle. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2023)
