Belle Croix

5 acre parcel culled from the Bienfaisance vineyard

textured finish is striking

This is aromatically similar to the Montrevenots if perhaps just a bit earthier

While not particularly dense

Olivier Merlin, Pouilly Fuisse Clos De France other_regions Belle Croix(from Vergisson). More subtle wood toast is present on the moderately reduced nose so be sure to give this some air if youre tempted to try a bottle young. Otherwise, there is fine richness to the succulent and caressing middleweight flavors that also conclude in a citrusy and bone dry finish that is better balanced. Worth considering provided you can give it a few years of cellaring.
