Pouilly Fuisse Premiers Jus des Premiers Crus 2020

Parker über: Pouilly Fuisse Premiers Jus des Premiers Crus

-- Parker: 'This is a blend of two-thirds La Roche, where the soils contain too much active calcium, and one-third Les Crays, where they contain too much red clay: together,' Guffens jokes, 'they make our answer to Montrachet.' That this is far from a vain boast is immediately apparent upon tasting the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Premiers Jus des Premiers Crus, which unfurls in the glass with scents of iodine, crisp green orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, white flowers, orange oil and wet stones. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, its textural attack segues into a strikingly incisive, tightly wound mid-palate that's girdled by racy acids and underpinned by chalky dry extract. Long and penetrating, it's searingly intense. In short, this will go down in the annals as one of the finest wines of Jean-Marie Guffens' storied career. 96-98/100
