  Robe or pâle tirant sur le vert. Nez délicat, bien mûr alliant des notes d'agrumes à des arômes de fruits exotiques. Bon volume en attaque, suivi d'un milieu de bouche riche en saveurs fruitées (avec presque une sensation de légère sucrosité?)... mais la finale est salivante sur les agrumes. Fraîcheur préservée!

  Burgundy 2011 Day 4: Visit to Domaine Nicolas Maillet (Macon, Burgundy): From 80-year old vines, this was really good. The nose was flintier more minerally than the other wines that came before, along with gentle scents of white fruit, pears, and a dusting of appley accents and just a touch of cream. Attractive stuff - it could well have been a Cote d'Or wine with that nose. There was lovely integrated acidity on the creamily smooth palate running through bright fruit flavours of apples and sweet pears laced with a nice minerality and a citrus, lemon sorbet-like back-end - all very pure, with lots of finesse and long classy finish with a good amount of structure and extract. A lovely mouthful of stuff - this was a really nice expression of Pouilly-Fuissé. While drinking well in its youth, it should should get even better with time.
