(90-93 points) Here too the wood treatment is no longer subtle though neither is it invasive on the ripe and fresh aromas of pear and apple compote, lemon rind and wafting spice nuances. The citrus character is also present on the dense and sappy medium-bodied flavors that also exude a bracing salinity on the moderately austere finale that isn't quite as persistent but offers slightly better depth. This should age well if desired.

The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé Sur La Roche 1er Cru has one of the most transparent bouquets, perhaps bestowed the most mineralité. Orange zest, nettle and blackcurrant leaf aromas develop in the glass. The palate is well-balanced, linear and saline, delivering plenty of energy toward the finish that lingers in the mouth. This is going to be very satisfying. Excellent.
