2021 Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru Le Clos, Chateau de Fuisse
The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé Le Clos 1er Cru is by far the best cuvée from Château de Fuissé this year, even though it was cropped at a measly 7hL/ha, equivalent to around ten barrels instead of around 50 barrels. It has a lovely bouquet with hazelnut and white tea scents filtering through the subtle tropical fruit. The terroir comes through nicely. The palate is well balanced with a dab of licorice on the entry. Very harmonious and complete, there is a sappy, underlying salinity that gets the saliva flowing on the finish. Excellent.
