Chewy and chalky on the nose. Lots of vibrancy. Transparent. Not heavy. Exciting. Great tension.
Here too the nose is quite reduced and all that can be detected is a subtle application of wood. The palate impression of the medium-bodied flavors is both riper and more concentrated with a really lovely transparency to the mineral-driven, refreshing, powerful and wonderfully long finish. Mâcon doesn't get a lot better than this though note that patience will be required. Drink 2019+.
Comment: Outstanding Top value
Jean-Marie Guffens's 2013 Pouilly-Fuissé Tri des Hauts de Vignes is showing brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of mandarin oil, pear, clear honey, barley sugar, mint and stone fruits. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a tangy spine of acidity and a long, saline finish, it's a fine-boned wine of crystalline purity in this cool vintage—a year that saw Guffens harvest his vineyards in multiple picks, or "tris," a technique seldom applied to dry wines but one that can make all the difference in a year such as this.
