Description
Although a large 18-hectare vineyard, the Merlin’s have just a 0.35-hectare parcel, high on the slope at 350m, and south-east facing. Their vines are neighbours to the Bret Brothers of Soufrandière. The altitude explains the wine’s slightly austere initial approach, but this soon evolves into something more finely etched and intellectual. A taut and well-tuned wine.

Critics reviews
Neal Martin MW 91-93/100
The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Au Vignoret 1er Cru has a vibrant, spicy bouquet with grapefruit and lemongrass scents. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed entry, orange pith and Conference pear, though it needs a little more nerve on the finish.Drink 2025 - 2042Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (August 2023)
