From perhaps the finest terroir in Chaintré, perched on the crest at the foot of the impressive château bearing the same name, here is a gorgeous Pouilly-Fuissé that will stand tall next to any wine from Burgundy, north to south.
The 2020 vintage marked the arrival of the long-awaited Premier Cru designations in Pouilly-Fuissé. Of course this fine estate was chosen.
Brilliant mineral expression in both the nose and on the palate provides both the backbone and freshness to this elegant chardonnay. Both ripe and persistent, the tension packed by this wine loosens just enough to provide a full bodied, classic expression of this grape. Very deft wine-making ties all of the elements together beautifully. Power and elegance.
