“Ripe lemons, pink lady apple, Bosc pear, honeysuckle and salty sweet butter come together in the glass. Round and focused with brisk acidity that refreshes and provides lift especially to its intense mineral midpalate. Wonderful to enjoy now.”

"Lush and creamy, featuring vanilla, butterscotch, peach, apple and lemon flavors. Turns more focused as this cruises to the long, spice- and mineral-tinged finish. Delivers excellent harmony and energy."

“Fresh aromas of ripe lemon verbena, hay, honeysuckle, lilac and gardenia intertwine in the glass. The palate adds a layer of citrus leading toward a saline and pithy finish. Although one is left desiring more fruit and tension, the wine has evident structure and a long finish.”

“Aromas of tangerine skin interlaced with delicate white flowers are beautifully framed by vanilla pod and almond. The mirroring palate carries precise layers of citrus zest, orange oil, warm baking spices, raw almonds, and vanilla extract. The oak spice frames the fruit beautifully and yields to a light tangerine skin finish.”

“Exquisite aromatics reveal ripe citrus, honey, honeysuckle, white stone and fresh vanilla on both the nose and palate. The finish delights with elegant traces of almond and vanilla bean. The finish is long and carries a captivating saline-stone minerality.”

“It has a nuanced nose, understated at first, opening with yellow plum, jasmine and crushed rock scents, showing very good delineation. The palate is well balanced, the oak neatly integrated and subtly, allowing the texture to shine through. There’s plenty of energy here. This is precise on the finish, and it will age very well in bottle...If you can resist the temptation.”

“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-Fuisse. 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.”

'“It has a perfumed bouquet with pressed yellow flowers, white peach, gooseberry and light sea spray scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is taut and fresh. There’s impressive depth, considering the vintage, with attractive orange pith and mango notes. Orange rind and a touch of spice appear on the finish.”

'“The nose is well defined with yellow plum and light waxy aromas, a little Conference pear emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with green apple,l pear and nuanced stony notes. Light on its feet and tensile, there is fine nervosite toward the finish. The 2021 is a cool, calm, collected Pouilly-Fuisse to enjoy over the next decade.”

'“I appreciate the mineralite on the nose considering the warmth of that year’s summer. There are touches of wet pavement and flint percolating through the subtle tropical-tinged scents. The palate is well balanced with an attractive waxy texture, delineated with a bit of spice perking up on the finish. There’s a twist of sour lemon on the aftertaste. This is delicious. ”

“More mineral than fruity, this wine feels substantial and rich without weight. Its limestone-soil pedigree shows in the pithy lemon acidity and lasting bitter edge. For crab.”

“Bananas Foster comes to mind in the richness of this wine, that weight lifted by notes of crabapple and autumn spices.”

“A lush white, revealing aromas and flavors of peach, apple, butterscotch, blanched almond and toasty oak. This is backed by vibrant acidity, with just a hint of light tannins gracing the long finish. Shows fine balance and length."

Grown in limestine, marl and chalk, producing a clean, fresh chardonnay, its peach and pear flavors shot through with mineral pallor. The leesy creaminess is pointed up by a third of the wine aging in barrels, but it’s mostly about tight scents of narcissus and a monolithic limestone structure gentled by the fruit.

A lime-scented wine with sweet notes of buttered almonds and coconut. It’s full and satisfying style of chardonnay, tightened by mineral acidity to finish pure and clean.

Once again there is whisper of the exotic in the form of lychee on the fresh aromas apple, essence of pear and white peach. The sleeker,more intense and stony middle weight flavors possess notably better persistence on the balanced, clean and agreeably dry finale. This too could use a bit more depth,but it should be capable of developing more with a few years of bottle age.

The 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières is an incredibly distinctive wine. Broad, ample and creamy, the 2018 possesses tremendous textural resonance and nuance that only builds over time. Lemon confit, white flowers, almonds, white pepper and a touch of reduction give the 2018 striking flavor complexity, but it is the wine's substance and overall depth that are most compelling. The 2018 is a fabulous wine by any measure. Don't miss it.

2018 Pouilly-Fuissé En Bertilionne is fabulous. A wine of precision and energy, the Bertilionne has just enough freshness to balance the natural generosity of the year. Lemon confit, white flowers, orchard fruit and saline notes are all finely knit. I very much like the translucence and cut here. In a word: impressive.

This grows at a parcel of 70-year-old vines in deep clay soils along with shale. It's clean and densely concentrated, a little severe in its mineral acidity at first, before that minerality opens to flintiness and the racy fruit gains juiciness with air. Less than a third of this wine ages in oak barrels, subtly pointing up the wine's smokiness. It would be delicious with a delicate dish, like Dover sole, in a buttery sauce.

Gentle vanilla notes wrap themselves around ripe Mirabelle plum fruit on the nose of this wine. The palate continues with this scented, gentle smoothness that fills palate and mind. The dry finish reveals concentration.
