Oubliés means forgotten, and this wine is a blend of vineyards that, contrary to Jean-Marie Guffen’s opinion, were not included in Pouilly-Fuissé’s 2020 1er Cru classification. It includes fruit from La Côte and Les Croux—as well as a part of Haut de Roche in Vergisson and Les Vernays and Sur la Fontaine from Fuissé. All are high-altitude terroirs with western or northern exposures and are sites that Guffens believes represent “the future of Burgundy wines in the face of global warming”. Let’s see who has the last laugh.

A quarter of the juice was aged in new oak, and it was raised for seven months in barrel. A beautifully tailored palate combines silky suppleness, a lick of sweet spice and fine energy, tapering to a chalk-infused finish.

Reviews

“The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Grands Terroirs Oubliés is elegant and charming, bursting with aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, toasted nuts and white flowers. Medium-bodied, satiny and pure, it's a bright, fleshy wine that will show well on release.”
91 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Grands Terroirs Oubliés comes from three parcels that were not classified Premier Cru in 2020. It is understated on the nose, fresh with sea spray and orchard fruit developing in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a silver bead of acidity, lightly spiced with a good density as it builds towards the slightly honeyed finish. With a long aftertaste, this should develop nicely in bottle."
