Vinous (93)The 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Clos des Quarts, co-owned by Olivier Merlin and Dominique Lafon, does not include the oldest vines in this particular vintage. Since these were planted in 1917, this plot was bottled separately in magnums to celebrate its centenary. It has a very classy bouquet, one that is beautifully defined with orange pith, apricot, lime flower and jasmine aromas that all gain intensity with aeration. The quality terroir comes through, even without those old vines. The palate is fresh and citrus-driven on the entry, bright and vivid with notes of orange rind, pine kernels, hints of mango and spice. This feels very harmonious and focused, demonstrating impressive depth on the flinty finish. This is a very impressive Pouilly-Fuissé from one of its most historic and now rejuvenated vineyards. Tasted at Field, Morris & Verdin’s annual tasting in London. |

Vinous (92)22 months of élevage): Bright light yellow. A sexy touch of reduction to the aromas of ripe peach, marzipan and flinty minerality. A bomb of sweet yellow fruits on the palate, with complicating notes of nuts and marzipan. This very rich, ripe, plush wine shows terrific depth and its very long, surprisingly vibrant finish avoids the phenolic edge of the Les Reisses Vieilles Vignes. Harmonious and classy already, this wine will be even better after it's had the chance to lose some of its baby fat. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé La Croix Vieilles Vignes undergoes a three-year élevage. These vines on deep blue schist soils create a warm microclimate so that the potential alcohol levels can be two or three degrees higher than elsewhere. It has a linear and focused bouquet that disguises the warmth of the terroir with style. The palate is vibrant on the entry, a superb line of acidity, quite saline yet there is real substance towards the finish. There is a sense of completeness to this Pouilly-Fuissé with just a touch of spiciness lingering on the aftertaste. Strongly recommended. |

Vinous (93)The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Courtelongs 1er Cru, which comes from north-orientated vines on red limestone soils, is very harmonious on the nose, perhaps more understated than other cuvées from Saumaize-Michelin. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, very saline in the mouth, hints of bitter lemon and a dab of spice, very persistent on the finish. An intellectual (as well as quite delicious) Pouilly-Fuissé in the making. |
