Château des Quarts, Pouilly-Fuissé (Burgundy, France) Clos des Quarts 2013

($70, Becky Wasserman Selection): Seventy bucks for Pouilly-Fuissé?  That’ll get your attention, but so will the quality of this wine.  It’s a joint venture between two Burgundy super-stars, Dominique Lafon from Meursault and Olivier Merlin from the Mâconnais, who purchased the vineyard together.  It’s a spectacular Pouilly-Fuissé, showing the heights that that appellation can achieve.  Rich, but not over ripe, stony and creamy, it has wonderful balance — nothing is out of place — and terrific length.  It conveys an unusual refinement for a wine from Pouilly-Fuissé.
