Saumaize-Michelin Pouilly Fuisse Pentacrine 2020

$78.00

A blend of 5 parcels around Vergisson with an average vine age of 40 years. Barrel fermented and aged in 600L barrels, full malolactic fermentation and lees stirred. Cooler fruit expression here, with green apple, citrus, white peach, nectarine and honeycomb. Expansive, with lovely fluffy texture and sleek weight. More sizzling and tangy, still rich mind, but with a zesty, pithy and mineral intensity quite different from the rest of the range. Long and persistent, vital and buoyant. Absolutely delicious. My favourite wine in the range? Waters Wine Co

This is the first wine to display any appreciable wood influence and it’s agreeably subtle on the aromas of petrol, acacia and passion fruit. There is outstanding volume to the caressing but decidedly powerful larger-scaled flavors that exude a bracing salinity on the nicely dry and more complex finale. Drink: 2025+. 89-92 Points – Allen Meadows, burghound.com
