Note di degustazione
Pale, bright yellow. Slightly high-toned aromas of ripe grapefruit, lemon and porcini. Rich, concentrated, wine with a fat, fine-grained, thoroughly enveloping texture and the sweetness to provide early pleasure. Not a particularly heavy 2015 in spite of the site's southern exposure, as the deep soil here retains moisture well. A generous, plush, round wine with very ripe citrus and stone fruit flavors complemented by nutty oak. Finishes smooth, strong and long.

Less ripe than their Les Chataigniers, creamy texture and fresh palate. Long, savoury and saline to finish. Rich texture with a glossy, polished smoothness. (RH)
(from well-drained 60-year-old vines planted on calcaire ebouillé and marl soil with a clay underpinning--Barraud referred to it as "very complete soil"; all done in fûts , 20% new but most of the rest recent): Full medium yellow. Highly complex scents and flavors of vineyard peach, preserved lemon and grapefruit, plus a riper suggestion of mirabelle . Compellingly rich, fine-grained and deep, conveying a strong impression of terroir in spite of its full alcohol. Finishes dusty and long, with great finesse, sexy minerality and a touch of citrus lift. A very elegant, strong Pouilly-Fuissé.
