Lot #119. Léger-Plumet Domaine du Chalet Pouilly Pouilly-Fuissé 2010

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 93 WA.
"The 2010 Pouilly-Fuissé has a decidedly different bouquet to the 2011: slightly richer, more perfumed with dried flowers, apricot blossom and traces of wild honey. The palate is structured, tense and more backward than the 2009, which I suspect will drink sooner. The finish is beautifully focused with supremely well-judged acidity that lends race and tension, hints of blood orange lingering on the saline aftertaste. This is a sublime Pouilly-Fuissé. Domaine du Chalet Pouilly is a small grower, but small can be beautiful. Father and daughter team of Bernard and Marie-Eve Leger are in charge here, the winery itself founded way back in 1850 on top of the hill overlooking the village of Solutré-Pouilly. In case you were wondering, it is named after the slatted façade of the winery that lends it the appearance of a chalet. Theirs is a small portfolio of wines, though Marie-Eve told me that it will be joined by a 0.4-hectare plot of Macon-Solutré from 2012. The wines are generally aged in used demi-muids except the Saint-Véran that sees no oak contact. I must confess, being unfamiliar with this name I had no expectations, but I adored these succinctly crafted, mineral-driven wines that you just want to elope with." eRobertParker.com #208, Aug 2013
