Tasting Notes

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

90/92
Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (56), October 2014

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.
