Feeling Thirsty?

A brooding and still very primary nose offers up liqueur-like notes of dark cherry, raspberry, anise and a hint of wood. There is excellent verve to the utterly delicious flavors that also possess excellent delineation before concluding in a mineral-laden and sneaky long finale. This is lovely and worth a look. ♥ Outstanding Drink 2028+ Burghound, 91 Points

Domaine Thibert Pouilly-Vinzelles ‘Les Longeays’ 2018

Chardonnay | Pouilly-Fuisse, France

“The 2018 Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays is lovely, mingling notions of peach, pear and orange oil with scents of freshly baked bread, buttery pastry and classy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and penetrating, with racy acids and a long, saline finish, it's a terrific wine of real character. 2022 -2035” William Kelley 93 Points, Burghound 89-91 ♥ Outstanding Top Value

Stepping up from the Bourgogne level wines in a big way. Building tension length and depth. Again excellent composure, tighter now as it should be. Give this 12 months and you’ll be in a very happy place. Entrancing nice white flowers on grapefruit. A little more energy. Excellent texture, chalky phenolic acid complex that works brilliantly. An edge of grapefruit esque bitterness. A wonderful fine example. The mid-palate depth is the thing that demonstrates the step up in quality here.

Dripping with class!
‘Poissenot’ is situated above Lavaux St Jacques on the northern ridge of Gevrey. ‘Poissenot’ is situated above Lavaux St Jacques on the northern ridge of Gevrey. The Poissenot is deeply colored, the nose is deep and alluring with black fruits, spice and a lick of new wood. The palate is loaded with fine grained and deeply structured tannins that coat the entire palate. Dripping with class this wine will reward long cellaring. Drink 2030-2050 Tom Carson
