Maison Joseph Burrier Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru 'Vers Cras' 2020, 0,75 L

Some wines captivate even before the first sip, and "Vers Cras" certainly belongs to this category. For those familiar with this wine, the anticipation is always met with excitement. It stands as a top-tier wine that rivals those from northern Burgundy, yet offers exceptional value.

In the glass, it shines with a golden yellow hue, adorned with reflections of orange, enticing you to indulge further. When you first lift the glass to your nose, ideally a Burgundy glass, an array of aromas unfolds, evoking an inevitable smile.

Dusty limestone, hints of orange zest, and exotic fruits greet the senses intensely. This initial impression seamlessly transitions onto the palate with a robust yet impeccably balanced flavour profile. The chalky soils impart a distinct terroir-driven character to the wine. Exotic fruits harmonize with the terroir's essence, presenting a wine that is creamy, powerful, and profoundly satisfying. The integration of oak adds a gentle caress, enhancing its allure. Mineral-laden, creamy, and enchanting, it culminates in a broad and enduring finish.

While delightful with ample aeration, "Vers Cras" holds promise for further development over a decade or more.
