The 2010 Heloise is another in a string of fabulous wines from this estate located high up in the Ventoux. The smoky, herbal aromas are reminiscent of Côte Rôtie, and in many ways, this is a more northern expression of the Rhône. It's lithe and medium-bodied, with a silky mouthfeel and long, espresso-tinged finish, all imparting a sense of easy elegance to this blend of Syrah, Grenache and Viognier. It can be drunk now and over the next decade or more.

Pretty pale pink. Fresh fruit that reminds me of a cross between sour cherry and pear, perhaps grapefruit too, but there is also a light stony mineral layer. Although the pH is quite high, it does taste very fresh, more of a textural than an acidic freshness, with a serious weight of fruit on the mid palate even though it is not primarily fruity. Long, sustained, dry but full and rounded on the finish and surprisingly mouth-filling. That stony effect comes back again at the very end, leaving your mouth clean and ready for the next sip. This was still remarkably fresh two weeks after opening.

Pale orangey pink. Lightly smoky and peppery at first, dusty and tangy Victoria plum fruit. Gently chewy in texture but a foundation of fresh red fruit but not simply fruity. There's structure and firm texture here with some red fruit just filling out the core. Fresh and long. Serious rosé with a core intensity with a long stony finish.

Pale peach skin color. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet displays ripe red berry, orange zest, succulent herb and floral qualities and a minerally element emerges slowly. Sappy and impressively concentrated yet lithe, offering intense strawberry, peach and blood orange flavors and a touch of fennel. The mineral note come back strongly on the finish, which hangs on with superb focus and persistence.

The 2016 IGP Vaucluse Viognier is cut from the same cloth and has slightly more acidity and freshness. Tangerine, citrus, and lots of mineral notes all emerge from this medium-bodied, vibrant white that has a classic Viognier character.

Immediately creamy nose that is in harmony with the subtle but correct varietal character of Viognier. There's peach, apricot, even a touch of orange and spice and that creaminess to the aroma, and then the oak and the rich lees texture shows more on the palate. This is very good, the best vintage I have tasted of this wine. It is rich and rounded but fresh too, with the site showing as much as the variety. A long finish that is both mealy/savoury and fragrant. Very good. Not sure how this will age but I don't think there is any hurry to drink it.

Impressive intensity for a village wine, lots of bright citrus and freshness. Pure fruited and well sustained with a stony, mouth-watering aftertaste.

The 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé opens in the glass with an attractive bouquet of confit citrus, Anjou pear and blanched almonds. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, with ripe acids, a nicely concentrated core of fruit and good tension at the core despite its expressive profile.

From a domaine under the Solutré hill, this selection has the classical proportions of a finely grown Pouilly-Fuissé. It benefits from the district’s complex terroir: A blend from three parcels totaling 3.2 acres, some of the vines grow in shallow soils over hard limestone rock, some of them in sedimentary, calcareous marl. The depth and detail of the wine’s earthiness and fruit flavors are impressive, with sweet notes of nectarines and yellow apples in the context of savory limestone acidity...

Clean, fragrant and creamy-rich, this wine has the juicy pineapple flavors of a New World chardonnay with a lemony savor that keeps it in the Mâcon. Generous and ripe, it’s ready to chill for roast prawns.

Stone dust and citrus aroma with a hint of smoky reduction. Oak shows on the palate in a cedary flavour and creamy texture.

The nose of this wine is a little shy but promises freshness, with a hint of yellow apple. The bright palate has hints of flintiness and smoke that lend more interest to this fruity wine.

Opening in the glass with notes of ripe pears, confit citrus, nutmeg and warm bread, the 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières is medium to full-bodied, rich and textural, with an unctuous, chewy mid-palate, ripe acids and a saline, expansive finish that displays plenty of sucrosity from ripe grapes.

This domaine’s 1.6-acre Aux Bouthières parcel is deep clay without calcareous rock, planted to vines 55 years old. In a lineup of Pouilly-Fuissé, it stands apart, the terroir speaking in the complexity of the wine. The flavors are bold and completely clean, and though the entire lot aged for a year in oak barrels (30 percent new), the wood influence comes through in cedar and foresty highlights, in richness adding to the elegance of the citrus and apple flavors. A brisk Pouilly-Fuissé suited to several years of bottle age.

This ripe and fruity wine from the heart of the appellation's terroirs is attractively spicy as well as packed with crisp apple fruits. Balanced and lifted by acidity, the wine still has attractive freshness. Drink now.

The 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières comes from clay-limestone soils, frost in this year reducing the yield by around one-half (20hl/ha). It offers crisp lemon rind, crushed stone and white peach. The palate is full of energy, shrugging off the trauma of the growing season and delivering a satisfying, quite tantalizing mineral-rich finish. If this is a precursor to what the Parinet family intend with the domaine then we are in for a treat. Highly recommended.

Delicate, precise citrus aroma. Just slightly stony/mineral. Rounded texture and quite salty on the palate. Fresh and taut, mouth-watering finish, building to greater intensity at the end.

Slightly and attractively smoky/rocky on the nose and a complex mix of herbs, spice and green fruits. There's a creamy richness in the texture and lovely depth of fruit, balanced by just-right acidity.

A generous bouquet of marzipan and ripe pears that's subtly framed by new wood introduces the 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé En Bertillonne, a medium to full-bodied, deep and muscular wine that's textural and blocky in profile, with ripe underlying acids and a heady finish. Its structure and concentration are impressive, but it will merit a little bottle age.

The 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé En Bertilionne has a wonderful, crisp, flinty bouquet with precise Granny Smith apple and freshly sliced pear aromas. A real citric drive, you can really inhale the terroir here. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and linear but with commendable weight and persistence towards the finish, just a touch of spice lingering on the aftertaste. Superb. Tasted at Flint Wines' Value Burgundy tasting.
