Aromas of peaches and green apples mingling with notions of clear honey, wheat toast, white flowers and mandarin introduce the 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Sur La Roche, a full-bodied, concentrated and structured wine that's deep and tight-knit, with considerable dry extract and a long, chalky finish. This is from a windy, precocious site where the grapes ripen rapidly, turning golden, and it's where the Barraud family generally begin their harvest.

The 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Sur La Roche offers delightful red apple and Conference pear aromas on the nose, plus a subtle mineralité tucked in just underneath. The fresh, vibrant palate is well balanced, delivering a lick of sea salt on the entry and impressive weight on the spicy, stem-ginger-tinged finish. This is a very fine Sur La Roche, though not necessarily the best from Barraud this year.

This wine is flat out spectacular, you really need to taste this to believe. One of the best chards we've tasted in quite a while! This is just packed with minerals and depth...you can almost taste the fossilized shells in this wine! WOW!
