2017 Pouilly Fuisse Vignes Blanches

The 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Vignes Blanches is another brilliant success for Duperray, bursting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of Meyer lemons, fresh pear, linden, white tea and freshly baked bread. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with a layered and immensely concentrated core, striking purity and a long, beautifully pure and delineated finish. While this is a powerful, large-scaled Pouilly-Fuissé, Duperray told me that the alcohol level is actually surprisingly low.
