Pouilly-Fuissé is the name of a village in the Mâconnais producing highly distinctive Chardonnay wine. The vineyards producing this wine are part of a breath-taking landscape where the limestone and heavy clay soils combine to create a unique 'terroir'.
This wine is from vines that are aged over 30 years, and is fermented in traditional in stainless steel vats, temperature controlled with complete malolactic fermentation, usually 8 to 10 months ageing in stainless steel vats.
The wine shows a green-gold color, and delicate fruit aromas of melons and pears with underlying notes of almonds on the nose that are disarmingly seductive. On the palate there is a round and full herbal fruitiness that complements the crisp acidity leading to a satisfying finish.
