Pouilly Fuissé Croux et Petits Croux
-- Parker: The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Croux et Petits Croux is another monumental wine in the making from the site that, in Guffens's hands, routinely produces one of Burgundy's finest white wines. Wafting from the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet of crisp Anjou pear, citrus oil, wet stones, paraffin wax and toasted sesame, framed by a discreet touch of youthful reduction, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with incredible concentration and searing levels of dry extract. Structured and tightly wound, it's seamless and complete, concluding with a long, intensely mineral finish. Guffens describes this southwest-facing site as 'the only complete terroir' in the area, with the perfect proportions of clay and limestone, and produced some 900 liters of this cuvée on 0.25 hectares. With a pH of 3.12 and 14.3% alcohol, it's built for the ages; and since, even in softer vintages, the Petits Croux takes the better part of two decades to show all its cards, patience is strongly advised! 97-100/100
