"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières 1er Cru is quite succinct on the nose, scents of sliced pear, melon and a little nettle. For the first hour or so, it is a little reticent and then it becomes more "vocal". The palate is really quite excellent, lent nerve by the thread of acidity, refreshingly malic for a 2022, just as linear as the previous vintage with hints of chamomile towards the finish. You could drink this now. You could chuck it in your cellar. Do both!"

"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé La Grange Murger has a slightly peachier nose compared to other cuvées this year. Quite forward and seductive, hints of pear and melon emerge with time. Well-proportioned mouthfeel with admirable purity, again, a little peachy in style with an almost creamy textured, vanillary finish. But hold the front page… Returning after two hours, this tightens up considerably, gaining more nerve, dispensing those peachy traits and adopting a more minerally edge. Two wines for the price of one?"

"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé has a clean and precise bouquet, tightly knit, green apple and hints of lime coming through. The palate is well balanced with a lemony opening. Harmonious, this Pouilly-Fuissé packs the quality more in the mouth than on the nose. Fine purity on the finish. Drink this over the next 5-6 years."

"The 2022 Mâcon-Solutré was a little better last year…yet it remains a very fine example. Still, those wet pavement and flinty aromas on the nose, the palate has lost just a little of its initial horsepower, the acidity keeps this on its toes. I'd fetch for a waiters' corkscrew over the next five years."
