Made from a prized vineyard site in Vinzelles, it combines precision, mineral drive, and generous fruit in a style that feels both classic and distinctly terroir-driven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a bright golden color with a clean, polished sheen. The nose is elegant and layered, offering notes of citrus peel, ripe pear, white flowers, and a subtle hint of toasted nuts or fresh butter, all supported by a chalky, mineral edge.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is textured yet focused, with lively acidity balancing its rounded fruit and supple weight. Expect flavors of lemon, orchard fruit, stone, and a discreet saline finish that adds length and energy. This is a white Burgundy with good aging potential, and the 2018 vintage should reward cellaring as it develops more depth, honeyed complexity, and hazelnut nuance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLes Quarts is one of the most respected vineyard sites in Pouilly-Vinzelles, with soils that contribute tension, minerality, and shape to the wine.
