Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes, Meurgey-Croses 2023
"Old vines (60-90 years) from four plots contribute creaminess and a broad mid-palate. Juicy with hints of spiciness and subtle oak, this wine has excellent balance and length." Our note Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
Waitrose Leckford Estate Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2015
Perhaps only an English wine such as this, from grapes grown on the Waitrose farm in Hampshire, would have wonderful notes of baked apples and freshly cut grass. Try it with pork medallions, grilled fish and crisp green salads.
