"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuiss, Sur La Roche 1er Cru comes from white limestone stool. Very mineral driven, quite tensile on the nose, this is less immediate than the Les Crays, tempting you with its gunflint scents. The palate is poised on the entry with fine tension, not as powerful as the Les Crays and maybe it just tapers in a little on the finish. Still, this is an admirable, very engaging and perhaps more nuanced take on the vintage." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"One of the highest elevation vineyards in the village, ‘Sur La Roche’ truly delivers on its name: tons of stony, sea-salty energy, bracing citrus flavors, depth and persistence for miles. Certainly a top Mâconnais’ vineyard, if not the very tip-top — and a wine we stash in our personal cellars, each and every vintage. You should too!   Aromas of yellow peaches, citrus zest, light baking spices. Broad and fleshy but perfectly balanced; flavors of lemon curd, yellow fruits."
