Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru "Vers Cras"

France
Burgundy
2022

This is one of the only Pouilly-Fuisse that Saumaize-Michelin makes from the village of Solutre. They have a .25 hectare parcel with south east exposure and 45 year old vines. The vines are at about 300 meters altitude compared to Vergisson where the average is 370 meters high. The subsoil here is an ancient coral limestone, with a lot of stones that gives saltiness and tension to the wines. This site is nominated to be classified as 1er Cru.

"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Vers Cras 1er Cru has the most marine-influenced bouquet in the range, with a touch of oyster shell and sea spray complementing the citrus fruit. The palate is beautifully balanced with a killer line of acidity, tender and understated, but it fans out exquisitely towards the almond-tinged finish. Superb."
