”Notes of pear, ripe grapefruit, white flowers and beeswax introduce the 2017 Pouilly-Fuiss Maison du Villard, a full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine that’s textural and open-knit, concluding with a saline finish.”William Kelley,Wine Advocate Magazine

”This is crisp, mineral and taut. Fresh green fruits and buttery ripeness come together well to produce a balanced and succulent wine.” Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

”The nose is fruit-driven, floral and offers a fine intensity. It reveals notes of vine peach, crushed brugnon and small notes of Mirabelle plum associated with very fine hints of beeswax, small yellow fruits, racy minerality and an imperceptible hint of almond. Good length.” Vertde Vin Guide (France)
