Vinous

(a blend of 40 plots on a variety of soils, including a high percentage of sand and sandstone that’s atypical for Fuissé; 70% vinified and aged in oak, 25% new, and 30% in tank): Pale yellow with a green tinge. Riper but more subdued than the Saint-Véran, showing more yellow fruits than green, with aromas of peach, orange zest and spices. Tactile, fresh wine with good texture to its peach and citrus flavors, along with a touch of creaminess from élevage on its lees. This fruit was picked at 13% potential alcohol. A very rich, pliant Pouilly-Fuissé, but showing modest nuance and perfume today.

89-90 Points
