Located on the Roche de Vergisson, this exceptional vineyard missed out on Premier Cru status solely due to its altitude of 400 metres. Regardless, with its southeast exposure and stony limestone base, Jean-Marie Guffens considers the site far more worthy of the classification than many of the Mâcon’s new Premiers Crus. (Particularly considering global warming and the public’s thirst for fresher wines with lower alcohol.) The vines here were harvested at the very end of the vintage, with low yields bringing a marvellous core of compact fruit offset by a spine of ripe minerality and crunchy freshness. Vinified entirely in oak with 25% new barrels, it possesses excellent (Premier Cru!) intensity and length, silky texture and tension, with a long, palate-scraping finish.

Reviews

“The 2024 Pouilly-Fuissé Le Haut de la Roche is another of the high points in the range this year, offering up aromas of white flowers, crisp orchard fruit and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, satiny and racy palate with chalky depth and a saline finish. It's another success for this consistently excellent cuvée.”
92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“The 2024 Pouilly-Fuissé Le Haut de la Roche, which is picked as late as possible, has a bright, minerally bouquet that has more energy and tension than the previous vintage. The palate is very well balanced with a lovely rondeur, counterbalanced by the crisp acidity and tension. Maybe it does not quite kick on towards the finish like Verget’s best cuvées in ’24, but it does feel very persistent.”
