Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru “Clos sur la Roche”

France
Burgundy
2020

The flagship wine of the single-vineyard efforts at Saumaize-Michelin. They own a single 1.65 hectare parcel and the oldest vines are nearly 100 years-old. It’s located on the back side of the Roche de Vergisson, a very sunny area. The wine typically has supple fruit with dazzling minerality, showing the magical energy of this site. This site was recognized as 1er Cru starting with the 2020 vintage.

"From a 1.60 parcel on white limestone soils at 360m altitude on the Roc de Vergisson, the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Sur la Roche 1er Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with crushed rock, white tea and wild peach scents all beautifully defined. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine spine of acidity, very cohesive, maybe just a little more malic that the Maréchaude, yet with just as much persistency in the mouth. Superb."
