WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The Pouilly-Fuissé is a blend of the best vineyard parcels with 10- to 35-year-old vines from the Fuissé amphitheater of limestone and clay soils. Each parcel is vinified separately to ensure the finest expression of the fruit. Half the wine is fermented in enameled tanks and half in used oak barrels.
2015 saw an early harvest as the season started with hot conditions throughout the valley. The harvest began early in September and lasted through October. The grapes were allowed to reach full maturity, with the fruit containing good acidity and nice aromas. However, due to low water amounts, there were lower yields across the region.
Subtle notes include minerals, yellow fruits, flowers, fresh hazelnuts and spices, with an intense finish. The perfect equilibrium of this wine allows it to retain its vibrancy with age.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Ideal with fish and shellfish.
