Verget Pouilly-Fuisse Terroir de Vergisson La Roche Maconnais, France 2014

The 2014 Pouilly-Fuissé La Roche saw seven months in 25% new wood, then transferred into concrete tanks on the lees. It has a strict, quite stony bouquet, more austere than other 2014 releases and nicely focused. There is a sense of energy here, but also control. The palate is bright and citric on the entry, gaining weight and concentration in the mouth with just a light brush of honey towards the intense, powerful finish. This is another very impressive Mâconnais from Verget and it has the substance to last 10-12 years. Drink 2016-2028.
