Jules Desjourneys Pouilly-Fuisse Les Vignes Blanches 2020 750ml

Les Vignes Blanches is one of the most respected named sites in Pouilly-Fuissé, the Mâconnais appellation known for southern Burgundy's richest Chardonnay. Jules Desjourneys, revived by Fabien Duperray, is best known for its Beaujolais but has earned a cult following for its whites, made with patient, extended aging and released only when the wines are ready. The 2020 growing season was warm and dry, giving ripe, generous fruit, and this single-vineyard bottling pairs that ripeness with real tension. Look for yellow orchard fruit, citrus peel, toasted hazelnut and a saline, stony finish. It drinks beautifully with a decant now and should continue to evolve over the next 8 to 10 years.
