2012 Domaine Saumaize-Michelin Pouilly-Fuissé Les Courtelongs

The 2012 Pouilly Fuise Les Courtelongs comes from a 0.35-hectare parcel that is orientated toward the north, but is protected and has good exposure to the sun. It has a very intense bouquet with citrus peel, hints of dried honey, white chocolate and grilled walnut. The palate is well-balanced with hints of marmalade on the entry. It feels rounded and supple in the mouth. There is very good concentration here, well-judged acidity and a long and persistent finish. My pick of the domaine's 2012s - an absolute delight.
