| Description: | Wine Advocate 90 Points - "The 2021 Pouilly-Fuiss Les Combes Vieilles Vignes unwinds in the glass with notes of fresh bread, citrus oil, confit orange and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and lively.". The vines are more than 70 years old on average, producing few bunches of small berries. Vinified from free run juice, fermented and aged in roughly 25% new French oak. Volumes are down significantly this year due to frost. Pale straw colour. Very complex on the nose - confit lemon and marmalade come together with smoky richness and an earthy ginger-like quality. Visceral and layered on the palate, this manages concentration, freshness, breadth and depth. The earthy edge to the fruit suggests a hint of botrytis in this wine, though it is of course bone dry. Saffron, apricot and ripe peach linger with a hint of baking spices, cedar and wood smoke on the finish. Excellent. |
