2014 Domaine Saumaize-Michelin "Clos Sur La Roche" Pouilly-Fuisse

Pale yellow with a green tinge. Deeper on the nose than La Mar̩chaude, offering scents of lemon drop, lime zest, spearmint and licorice. Supple and pliant but racy limey acidity gives cut and lift to the middle palate. Ultimately sharply chiseled but with a sunny character; one can taste the warm stones here. Finishes saline, bright and very long, with an element of leesy complexity and a vibrating rocky character. Wonderfully suave, elegant, mineral-driven wine with a weightless impression. I'd like to try this in a blind tasting with some far more expensive premier crus from the C̫te de Beaune. (ST)
