Pouilly-Fuissé
Premier Cru
AOP Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru
TERROIR
Here we bring together three plots with highly calcareous soils, located in the municipalities of Vergisson and Chaintrée.
At the level of
wine-making
The grapes are harvested by hand and loaded by gravity into pneumatic presses. We use long cycles to preserve the delicate aromas. The musts are cold stabilized, then decanted and placed in barrels for fermentation. The 19-month aging process includes 11 months in barrels that have held 1 to 3 wines, followed by 8 months in vats. We do not use SO2 on the harvest, but we do use it during the aging phase to ensure the wine’s stability.
For the
Tasting
The tasting reveals a nose of very ripe yellow fruits, full-bodied and aromatic. The attack is clean and crisp. Brioche aromas emerge, and the wine reveals its full richness and complexity, with notes of warm stones. The finish is intensely salty.
