2023 Marcel Couturier Pouilly-Loche Le Bourg

Le Bourg is a walled Couturier monopole of eighty-year-old vines on almost pure clay, where the limestone has long since dissolved away. The old vines, touched by the court-noue virus, give tiny berries and minute yields, and the wine shows it: concentrated and deep, with outsized flavour for the appellation and the structure to age. A rare, single-vineyard Maconnais worth seeking out.
