Origin
Located in the south of the Maconnais, the vineyards of Pouilly-Fuissé occupy the slopes and the base of the rocks of Solutré and Vergisson. They span over four villages: Solutré-Pouilly Fuissé, Vergisson and Chaintré.
Soil
Stony boulders and a soil of clay and limestone from the Jurassic era.
Vinification
Traditional vinification. The grapes are pressed on arrival at the winery. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks thermo-regulated at 16°C. The wine is aged for 15 months in oak barrels used between 1 and 4 times, with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity.
sensory characteristic
Colour
Pale gold with green highlights.
Nose
Elegant nose with mineral (flint) and citrus (lemon, grapefruit) notes.
Palate
The aromatic finesse finds its complexity with notes of roasted peanuts. The palate is rich and tense with a minerality that dominates the finish.
Recommendations
Perfect with noble seafood (gambas, lobsters, crayfish...) but also with foie gras and white meats with a creamy sauce (veal or poultry). Sushi pairs perfectly with its minerality. Ideal with Goat cheese.
