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

2021
France
Burgundy

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.

"The 2021 Pouilly-Fuisse Sur La Roche ler Cru has one of the most transparent bouquets, perhaps bestowed the most mineralite. Orange zest, nettle and blackcurrant leaf aromas develop in the glass. The palate is well-balanced, linear and saline, delivering plenty of energy toward the finish that lingers in the mouth. This is going to be very satisfying. Excellent. "
