Background
Pouilly Fuissé is a highly respected Appellation in the Macon area of southern Burgundy. Known for great value compared to the big guns of Puligny Montrachet, Meursault et al in the Cote d’Or. This small family producer is much coveted by top Sommeliers, we understand why!
Tasting notes
From its golden colour to the honeyed, almond, and citrus notes along with the integrated oak aromas, you know you’re in for a treat with this wine. The palate is rich and sophisticated, well-rounded with a structure that is persistent but allows the fruit flavours to further develop whilst retaining a freshness from the pleasing balancing acidity. A world-class Chardonnay.
Winemaking
The hand-picked grapes come from their oldest vines from their three best plots. Fermentation and ageing in French Oak barrels for up to 12 months before bottle ageing prior to release.
Food pairings
Ideally accompagnied with fish, shellfish, seafood, frogs legs, poultry and last but not least goats cheese.
