Reviewed April 2024Vines from 1938, just 13 acres. Very high up. Lovely elegant bouquet just gorgeous, silky wine without losing generosity. Exquisite on the palate, all white fruit, the right trace of acidity across the palate and very long indeed. Les Crays was made but never sold before 2020. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted Mar 2024.

More moderate, though by no means discreet, wood influence suffuses the nose of essence of pear-apple and pretty floral wisps. There is excellent richness and mid-palate volume to the vibrant medium weight plus flavors that culminate in a clean, agreeably dry and citrus-inflected finale. This is presently quite compact and a wine that should have no trouble progressively integrating the wood. Worth considering. *Burghound Sweet Spot!*

There are just two casks of the 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Crays 1er Cru, which is one more than the previous vintage. It has a beautiful and pure nose, showing orange pith, yellow plum and light slate-like aromas that are very well-defined. The palate is taut and fresh with fine acidity, elegant and poised with a mineral-driven finish. Excellent.(NM)

The nose on this release is an interesting combo of clean minerals, iodine, white pear and white apple fruit pulp. On the palate, though clean, there is a distinct creaminess, with caramel cream, mellow lemon and orange flavors. The long finish is citrusy, with minerals and lingering tartness. Pretty much the best two worlds of mouthfeel that is moderately rich with bracing cleanliness.
