Very closed after its recent bottling, but shows even more length, minerality and finesse than Robert-Denogent’s other bottlings. I’ve no doubt it will emerge in several years even better. An incredible Pouilly-Fuissé. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

Concentrated fruit from 75-year-old vines went into new oak for 23 months—and emerged barely showing it. There’s great richness and minerality allied to pineapple and citrus flavors and a long, focused finish. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

More powerful than Monsieur Robert’s La Croix bottling, but not quite as long, with assertive flavors of honey, anise and oranges. A bold statement in Pouilly-Fuissé. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

From 45-year-old vines, this spent 20 months in second-use barrels, which imparted a delicate toastiness and vanilla to the concentrated fruit. Honey, apple and citrus notes blend harmoniously with the ample oak. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

Despite 18 months in wood, the oak isn’t that obvious. Instead, there’s honey and pineapple, good richness for the Mâcon, and a long, crisp finish. Imported by Kermit Lynch.
