Other Reviews....
Guffens has tended to blend his holdings in En Carmentrant and La Côte with his later press fractions to produce a more approachable, demonstrative wine; so it is worth emphasizing that this is not the case this year, for the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé C. C. contains no press wine. "I never saw such beautiful grapes," he observes, and he wanted to see how far they could go. Exhibiting notions of orchard and stone fruit mingled with white flowers, beeswax and citrus zest, the wine is full-bodied, layered and racy, with a gourmand core of fruit that's underpinned by bright acids. It's the finest rendition of this cuvée to date—and in reality, it's an entirely different style of wine.
