Tasting notes
Smokier than their village blend, full and lengthy with a very smart balance of fruit weight and mineral complexity. Offers all the pleasure of a Côte de Beaune at a far better price, without undue fatness. (RH)

Offering up aromas of lemon oil, white flowers, Anjou pear and crisp green apple, the 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cru Les Perrières is medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, with fine depth at the core, lively acids and a bright, chalky finish. This has turned out especially well this year.
From a south-east-facing slope with vines on average 35 years old. Flint and honey on the nose, poached pears and sweet spice. Juicy palate, big, bold but balanced. Some nice creaminess comes through on the back end. Very approachable and full, if a little smoky. (TP)
