KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"From a 1.60-hectare parcel on white limestone soils at 360m altitude on the Roc de Vergisson, the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Sur La Roche 1er Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with crushed rock, white tea and wild peach scents all beautifully-defined. The palate is very well balanced with a fine spine of acidity, very cohesive, maybe just a little more malic than the Maréchaude, yet with just as much persistency in the mouth. Superb. - Neal Martin"

"Opening in the glass with notes of pear, citrus oil, white flowers and wet stones, the 2019 Pouilly-Fuissé Clos Sur la Roche is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with fine cut and grip. It's the most tightly wound and incisive of these 2019 and consequently—to my palate—the most promising. - William Kelley"

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (August 2021), 93 pts

"One of a comparatively small number of vineyards in Vergisson that will soon be categorised as a premier cru, Sur La Roche has proved its worth in warm 2017. This old-vine parcel runs to 1.6ha and has produced a stylish, feline wine with a hint of wood, lots of crunchy acidity and notes of grapefruit and pepper spice. Drinking Window 2019 - 2023. - Tim Atkin"

"Once again, reduction renders the nose impossible to accurately evaluate. The round and suave medium weight flavors possess a silky mouth feel as well as fine intensity before terminating in a tightly knit, dry and mineral-infused finish. This is really quite impressive and the name certainly telegraphs the pronounced stoniness. Worth considering."

"The 2011 Pouilly-Fuisse Clos Sur la Roche has a well-defined, mellow, cohesive bouquet with scents of lime flower, quince and honeysuckle. The palate is fresh on the entry with a lovely citric thread. There is impressive tension here although it needs to develop a little more persistency on the finish. Otherwise, this is an attractive wine. - NM"
