Fresh, crisp, airy, enticing!
Orchard apples, a touch of underripe apricot, white flowers and, underneath, crushed rock, mineral, salty, moreish.
On the palate this is so juicy and so clean with zippy, fresh acidity and a great mineral backbone. No oak whatsoever & none needed.
This has presence, depth & zing.
Lipsmacking delicious. — 3 years ago
My white of the night, even though my guess for it as a blind missed the mark. Once more, the influence of sight led me astray, with the exposed Stelvin cap popping out of the blind sleeve leading me to identify it as an Australian Chardonnay. In my defense, the ripeness of the fruit does fit the guess. If anything, it just reaffirms my view that global warming (and the homogenisation of styles) has been making it harder and harder to discern new and old world wines as of late. That topic aside, this wine was just so digestible. Long with strong salinity, laser-like acidity, and luscious mouthfeel. There’s a mix ripe stone and zesty citrus fruits here, along with nutty, woody, and spicy nuances. The only element that irks me is a touch of muskiness which I attribute to some level of premox. Other than that, there’s richness, intensity, and precision here - all the hallmarks of a great wine. Delicious, and finished in no time at all. — 4 years ago

The nose is all salt and minerality. Smells like Puligny, driven by finesse and elegance, with hazelnut and saline notes. Rich and complex on the palate, with terrific mineral drive, inner-mouth perfume, depth, concentration, and sappy salinity. Mouthwatering, enormously complex, with terrific acidity balanced by real flesh. Sandstone and clay soils. — 4 months ago
For $18, a great buy. Fresh, young, well balanced. Great acidity. Nothing complex. No overwhelming or particular fruit. But very nice and super easy to drink. Great weekday wine. — 4 years ago

Standard issue. Appel, pear, cream, white flower / round and med+ bodies with baked fruit, light spice / clean finish with some residual minerality — 8 years ago
Enormous mineral density and concentration, with remarkable power and sheer material, yet everything is driven by Chablis-like razors, sea salt and electric salinity. Fresh sea air and mineral dominate the aromatics, while the palate is dense, energetic and intensely sapid, with a beautiful mineral sweetness running through the finish. Powerful without heaviness, unbelievably pure and completely distinctive. — 2 months ago
My goodness. Smells like Puligny with a Mâcon accent. Unreal aromatics. The palate is deep, elegant and remarkably rich, with salinity, acidity, perfect balance and tremendous depth. Incredible salty minerality. Still very young and needs time. Limestone-dominant soils with a little clay. — 4 months ago
Green apple and lemon aromas. Medium body with good balance. Solid value from Rosenthal. — a year ago

Château de Pierreclos Comtes de Pierreclos Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru Au Vignerais 2023, Maconnais, France
This is a very tasty and elegant Chardonnay from Mâconnais in Burgundy. Soft and smooth, complex and entertaining. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.
Dry on the palate, rich and fruit forward, with a touch of oak.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
100% Chardonnay grapes.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
