1996 Domaine
Robert Denogent Pouilly-Fuissé Les Carrons Vieilles Vignes&nbsp;

BY NEAL MARTIN |&nbsp;NOVEMBER 14, 2022A few
months back, I reported on a cluster of old Pouilly-Fuissés from Château de
Beauregard that attested to their under-appreciated longevity. Here is another
bottle that was bright as a daisy when opened in Beaune as a pre-prandial
wake-me-up.<img alt="" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.vinous.com/uploads%2F1668111266371-pouilly+fuisse+1996+denogent_copy.jpg">The 1996
Pouilly-Fuissé Les Carrons Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Robert Denogent,
one of Fuissé’s top producers, is burnished silvery in hue with green tints.
The nose is delectable, beautifully defined with Crustacea, kaffir lime and wet
wool scents that seem to gather momentum in the glass. The palate has exquisite
balance, linear at first, strict and uncompromising. Yet, the Carrons mellows
in the glass, luxuriating in its newfound freedom from bottle, with shucked
oyster shells and red apples towards its long finish. At 26 years old, this
Pouilly-Fuissé has so much to give. I only regret that I can imagine nearly all
the other bottles were consumed long ago. 93/Drink 2022-2040. <div></div>© 2022, Vinous. No portion of this article may be copied, shared or re-distributed without prior consent from Vinous.
