Pouilly-Fumé Tradition Cullus 2022

Pouilly-Fumé Tradition Cullus 2022, 75cl.

~ 94/100, VertdeVin Magazine N°26, July 2024 : «The nose is complex and subtly spicy –expressing aromas of nutmeg, ground cloves, crushed coriander seeds and dried vanilla in the background. After aeration, we find aromas of toasted hazelnut, a smoky touch of wood, as well as a slight hint of caramel. The fruits on the nose are juicy and fleshy: we find crushed lemon, tangy apricot, white peach, grapefruit and gooseberries, combined with a gourmet touch of mango and honey, as well as a mineral hintoflimestone and smoke. »

~ 93/100 and Editor’s Choice, by Reggie Solomon , Wine Enthusiast, October 2024 : « This joyful Pouilly-Fumé has perfumed aromas of brioche, golden apple, quince and peach blossom. A robust palate carries well-integrated orchard fruit and dried lemon peel to the finish which becomes more floral as it lingers. »

Fermented in 600L French oak barrels then 12 months’ maturation in oak and 12 months in stainless steel. The Cullus is made only in the best vintages »

98/100 Jim Budd «Ripe stone fruit aromas, vibrant balancing acidity, good length. A powerful wine but still has freshness on the finish, with potential to age further.»
95/100 Natalie Earl «Crushed rocks, a toasty char and bags of honeysuckle and jasmine florals, pineapple peeping in, too. Well defined, excellent concentration, balanced by chalky minerality and an almond skin bitterness.»
96/100 Ben Llewelyn «Very flashy aromatics, high-toned and confident. Box, lemon verbena and thyme all make an appearance on a taut and lean and balanced palate.  »

Pouilly-Fumé Tradition Cullus 2018 :

93/100, Roger Voss, The Wine Enthusiast 2022 : « Partial fermentation in wood has given this wine extra richness as well as an edge of toastiness. That hasn’t stopped the tangy fruit from singing happily. The delicious wine is just ready to drink. »

Pouilly-Fumé Tradition Cullus 2015 :

93/100, Roger Voss, The Wine Enthusiast 2020 : « Aged in large barrels, this wine is now mature while still having a vibrant, fruity character. The acidity has been tamed, filling the glass with perfumed white fruits that are touched by spice. Drink this wine now. Suitable for vegans. »

Vanilla, mineral, pineapple, coconut, and a bit chemical. Very unique! Defiantly something to try – especially with an octopus salad or some grilled BBQ shrimp.

Heerlijk, vettig en in balans. Echte klassieke sauvignon afdronk.

Vivino – SanderW – 46 beoordeling – Beoordeeld op May 26th 2017 : 4,5/5

Oh la la! Ik drink graag rode wijn. Als Nederland echter wordt omarmt door zomerse temperaturen vul ik maar al te graag het koelvak met mooie witte wijnen. Deze wijn was de mooie begeleiding van een salade nicoise. En wat voor eentje! Knisperig fris, uitdagend geurend, bomvol fruit en een fijne hint naar wat droog. Botermals in combinatie met de vettige vinaigrette en vis! Jummie!

Vivino – Raymond Marti – 474 Bewertung – Bewertet am Dec 31st 2017 : 4,0/5

Ein Sauvignon blanc à ma façon: Dezente Koriandernote (mehr geht für mich nicht ist einfach nicht mein Ding), Bergamotte, Zwiebelchutney, eine Spur weisser Balsamico, Zitronengras. Füllig und dicht am Gaumen, erfrischende Säure gefolgt von mineralischen Noten, mineralisch grasig im Abgang.

10 anos esperando para ser aberto, só fez bem a ele. Frutado, aromas de pêssego e abacaxi e maduro, redondo, amarelo ouro. Lembro do dia em que comprei dos proprietários, uma família com criança de colo, à beira da estrada na entrada da cidade.

Diferentemente do esperado, esse Sauvignon blanc é super amanteigado, como um bom chardonnay do Napa. Otimo vinho. Aromático. Mel.

Mineralissimo, fiori intensi e frutta di sauvignon. molto fine senza sbavature. Bocca di sostanza con grande estrazione. Equilibrato, lungo e abbastanza caldo.
