2021 Domaine du Roc des Boutires Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières

The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières 1er Cru comes from vines planted in 1945 and cropped at 28hL/ha this year, aged half in barrel and half in vat. It has a nuanced nose, understated at first, opening with yellow plum, jasmine and crushed rock scents, showing very good delineation. The palate is well balanced, the oak neatly integrated and subtle, allowing the texture to shine through. There's plenty of energy here. This is precise on the finish, and it will age very well in bottle…if you can resist temptation.
