Kingsley Amis once described white Burgundy as “closely resembling a blend of cold chalk soup and alum cordial with an additive or two to bring it to the colour of children’s pee.” It leaves you wondering what on earth he was drinking or whether someone was playing a trick on him! This is what white Burgundy should taste like, a symphony of citrus fruits, underpinned by that ineffable mineral quality that defines the region, a mouthwatering, cool-climate refinement and layers of intricate, delicate flavours that call to mind grapefruit and white peach and millefeuille pastry. 13.5% alc.

Press review:

The Wine Advocate: “Giroux's 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes has also turned out nicely, offering up aromas of golden orchard fruit, buttery pastry, lemon curd and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with lively acids and a vibrant, fleshy profile, this is another cuvée that has gained in precision in recent vintages. Drink now-2032.” 93+ points
