Note: from an appellation standpoint, this .64 holding in Le Clos is part of the 1er Les Perrières and is noted as such on the back label. A discreet but not invisible application of wood sets off ripe aromas of pear and apple compote, spice and petrol nuances. The sleeker and finer medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality that adds a sense of lift on the bitter lemon-inflected finish. This could also use better depth so a few years of keeping are in order. Recommended.*Burghound Outstanding!*

The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé Clos de Jeanne 1er Cru comes from two separate vineyards on clay soils over limestone. There is a patina of vanillary oak on the nose, though it is well defined and focused, a little tropical and seductive in style. The palate is well balanced with nectarine and white tea on the entry. There is a veil of oak and so this will benefit from 12 months in bottle to fully integrate.(NM)
