The 2019 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Brûlés has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, toasted nuts and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and a delicately oak-inflected finish, it's already showing well.

The 2011 Chateau-Fuisse Les Brules is from deep marl soils. Antoine explained that, as the name suggests, you can easily pick too late because of the exposure, yet the cold soils can deceive you into picking early. The 2011 was fermented entirely in oak. It has a wonderful Puligny-like bouquet with hazelnut, grilled almond and smoky aromas that exude finesse and class. It has a powerful, spicy, beautifully focused palate with perfect acidity and a palpable sense of energy on the long, enthralling finish. This is simply superb. I last visited Chateau de Fuisse in the late 1990s when my former employers were agents for Chateau de Fuisse in Japan. I vividly recall the exceptional quality of one of the most esteemed producers in Pouilly-Fuisse and I have endeavored to keep track of recent vintages ever since. The estate is steeped in history, though when the original Chateau was built in the 15th century, they found the water table too high for a proper cellar, which is why there are not typical vaulted brick arches beneath the main building. The Vincent family has presided over the estate for decades and it was Antoine, who joined the domaine in 2003, who escorted me around the vineyard (see video) and through a selection of wines. If you really want to taste what Pouilly-Fuisse is capable of then look no further than this address. We commenced with a look at their 2011s. Antoine explained that the vintage produced wines that were lower in alcohol (0.5 degrees less than 2010), lower in sugar but also lower in acidity, so that everything was kept in equilibrium.

By itself, the 1993 Les Brules may have squeezed out a 90 point rating, but next to its two siblings (the 1993 Les Combettes and the 1993 Le Clos) it is an excellent rather than exceptional wine. Powerful and rich, with gobs of cinnamon, apple, buttery fruit, full body, high alcohol, and a dense, rich, chewy finish, it should be drunk over the next 4-5 years. It is one of Mother Nature's quirks that in 1993 the finest Pouilly-Fuisse estates have turned out remarkably more consistent, fuller, and richer than many of the more expensive and renowned premier crus and grand crus from the Cote d'Or. Proprietor Vincent has vineyard-designated three Pouilly-Fuisse offerings from the 1993 vintage - all excellent to outstanding. All are full-bodied, powerful, rich, concentrated wines that exhibit a judicious use of new oak, and big, rich, honeyed, buttery flavors. Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, Ltd., New York, NY; tel.
