Jean-Marie Guffens’ 2011 Maison Verget Pouilly-Fuissé is undoubtedly a reference point for the appellation. As it is endowed with an alluring bouquet reminiscent of spring flowers, crushed rock, and ripe citrus, one could almost forget to take a sip, but what a shame that would be. In the mouth this elegant Pouilly-Fuissé presents polished fruit and layers of nuanced flavors infused with a subtle minerality. A touch of oak adds additional body and complexity without overpowering the wine’s freshness, vigor, or individuality.

In short, there is Soave and then there is La Frosca, an aromatic, luscious, downright irresistible wine which is clearly in a class all by itself. There’s a beautiful luscious quality in its beguiling bouquet and flavor, which include cherry blossom, dried honey, and freshly picked orchard fruits. Remaining forever elegant, harmonious and supremely balanced, it exits with the perfect amount of gentle acidity to frame the wine’s elegant fruit, along with a delightful citrus twist and a dash of almond in the long, lingering finish.

Morgadío’s 2011 Albariño Rías Baixas comes across as both brilliant and precise, exhibiting sophisticated fruit flavors and pinpoint minerality. Dry, pure, and beautifully scented, it exudes an aroma of freshly picked apples and pears and fills the mouth with fresh, racy flavors before finishing crisp and bracing. This is a wine for people who appreciate a truly dry, statuesque white wine of breed, flavor, and noble bearing that will continue to develop in bottle for at least another year or two.
