Sourced from one of the appellation’s most respected lieux-dits, it combines precision, minerality, and quiet power in a style that reflects the finesse of southern Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a bright golden hue with a clear, polished appearance. The nose is elegant and layered, with notes of citrus, white flowers, ripe orchard fruit, crushed stone, hazelnut, and a subtle creamy nuance from élevage.\n\nOn the palate, it is poised and concentrated, balancing ripe fruit with fresh acidity and a saline mineral streak that gives the wine length and tension. The texture is smooth but not heavy, making it both immediate in charm and serious in structure. The 2016 vintage should have good ageing potential, developing greater complexity over time with honeyed, nutty, and more tertiary notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLes Quarts is one of the most celebrated vineyard sites in Pouilly-Vinzelles, with limestone-rich soils that lend the wine its distinct mineral character and energy.
