Château des Quarts
When I called to see him, Olivier Merlin’s sons were busy spraying in the vines. “We started picking on August 21 to preserve the freshness and acidity. Nowadays, every year, the start of the growing cycle seems in advance. I am not advocating picking unripe grapes, but you have to be careful because picking in August increases by a degree every three days. On rocky soils, we had the lowest yields. We had to use 150kg of fruit per kilo of juice, which is very high. So, we did some special pressings that occasionally impart bitterness.” This is a consistent set of wines from Merlin. The Pouilly-Fuissé Sur La Roche is one of his strongest cards, though his Château des Quarts, his joint venture with Dominique Lafon, is always the highlight, the 2022 tightly wound but bursting with energy.
