Pouilly-Fuissé Pentacrine

France
Burgundy
2022

Pentacrine is named for the small star-shaped fossils found in the vineyards. This is a blend of several parcels throughout Vergisson. Fermented and aged in demi-muids; floral with notes of strawberry and juicy pink grapefruit.

"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Pontecrine has a lovely bouquet with hints of praline tincturing the citrus fruit, which is well-defined and poised. The palate is rounded on the entry and slightly honeyed in texture. Perhaps a little more acidic "bite" would have benefitted this cuvée, but I appreciate the tension on the finish. Fine."
