La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Quarts Cuvée Millerandée 2022

94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat Les Quarts Cuvée Millerandée comes from the small part of the vineyard that suffers millerandage and constitutes four or five barrels. This is a little more backward on the nose than the regular cuvée and demands more coaxing. Pear and peach skin, lanolin and light apple blossom scents unfurl in the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced with a dash of stem ginger on the entry. It is very poised, and I love the way this crescendos towards its bravura finish that lingers long in the mouth. Outstanding. Drink: 2026-2044. (Aug 2024)"

93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Mid lemon yellow in colour. The bouquet as ever a little more succulent. Pretty mid yellow. Racy on the palate with extra intensity but only at the finish does it really open out. Extra weight in the texture, but not in itself classier. The finish, though, is exquisite, with the perfect balance of fruit and minerality. 13.5% alcohol. (Mar 2024)"

91-93 points/'Sweet Spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(made exclusively from shot berries picked from vines that average 80 years of age). Once again firm reduction is all that can be discerned. Otherwise, the notably dense if perhaps just a bit less energetic flavors are at once opulent and mineral-driven while displaying outstanding length on the bone-dry but not really austere finale. This is very promising and a wine that should also amply reward mid-term cellaring. Drink: 2028+. (Aug 2023)"
