Note di degustazione
The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Combes Vieilles Vignes comes from the village of Pouilly and was picked three times. This is all about precision on the nose, not powerful yet precise, with touches of limestone percolating through the citrus fruit. Hints of white flower emerge with aeration. The palate is well balanced with ample weight and depth. It's grippy and almost Chassagne-like, with a very persistent finish. Excellent.

This may not be premier cru, but it is the star of Verget's 2023s, albeit less rich and concentrated than Sur La Roche. The vines face both north (30%) and south (70%) and Verget picked the grapes in three separate passes through the vineyard, as at Domaine Guffens-Heynen. This leads to grapes of different ripeness and acidity levels. These are fermented separately and then blended together for oak-ageing in barrel – of which 25% is new. Pale gold. Light nose but real density on the palate. Tingling intensity. Real grip but so much complex fruit in the middle of the undoubted framework. Savoury, saline finish. The most Côte d’Or style in this line-up of Verget’s 2023s. (JR)
It's always hard to choose between this bottling and La Roche, and as usual, the 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Combes Vieilles Vignes is a touch richer and broader out of the gates. Picked in three separate harvests (collecting only the ripest grapes on each passage), the Verget team pulled out all the stops to craft a medium to full-bodied, layered and satiny wine that's seamless and complete, evoking aromas of pear, honeycomb, white flowers and toasted nuts.
