Verget - Pouilly-Fuissé - Grands Terroirs - Blanc - 2020

Wine:

There is an air of Chassagne-Montrachet in this 2020 white Pouilly-Fuissé Grands Terroirs... And it is the Best Sommelier in the World, Olivier Poussier, who says so! The dimension of the vintage imposes some richness and volume on the palate, marked by notes of white fruits and chalk.
