Gilles Corsin is an absolute perfectionist, but that’s the guy you want making your high-end white Burgundy. His meticulous work in both the vineyard and cellar opens him up for some friendly critique from his friends and competitors, but really there is a lot of jealousy baked in.
The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. In the 2020 vintage in particular, the weather set up perfectly in Burgundy for growing crisp, clean and even racy White burgs with round mouthfeels, great acidity and a textbook finish. This is the type of outstanding quality from Gilles that we’re lucky we get to be a part of each year.
