(2023) What a lovely wine this is, from the 5th generation Vervier family and vineyards close to Pouilly-Fuissé. Denis Vervier replaced the Gamay that his grandfather had planted on this granite plot with Aligoté believing it was an ideal terroir, and on his evidence he was right. It's a delicate wine, but perfumed, with floral and herbal touches to very cool but ripe fruit; spring flowers and fresh apples and pears. In the mouth it is dry and light- to medium-bodied, and though a lemon and salts lick of acidity drives the finish, there is a ripeness without particular sweetness on the mid-palate. Gossamer light, and sets the gastronomic juices flowing.
