2023 Domaine Barraud Pouilly-Fuisse Alliance Vergisson, Maconnais, France (750ml) Russia cassis and forest-woodWINEMAKER'S NOTES: The 'Alliance' here is the coming together of 5 parcels: One in Fuiss (below Perrires) the rest all around Vergisson. All the vines range between 50 70 years old. One of the parcels is on clay 4 on limestone rock. Beautifully concentrated there is superb depth. Gentle toastiness. Good, tightly furled fruit core with firm citrus flesh some pear and some firm peach. Quite a big boy for now. Nicely complex and lots to get your teeth in
