The grapes come from a number of vineyards around the 5 sub regions of Pouilly, taking advantage of the slate and sandy soils of Fuissé blended with the heavier clay and marl soils of Vergisson, to make a wonderfully complex and polished style of Pouilly Fuissé. Fermented in a mixture of steek tanks and older oak barrels, then 20% matured in new oak with the remainder matured on fine lees in tank.

Producer

Château Fuissé

This is undoubtedly the aristocratic domaine of Fuissé. Now under the control of brother and sister, Antoine Vincent and Bénédicte Tuinder-Vincent, son and daughter of Jean-Jacques Vincent. Whilst Antoine is now the winemaker at this great property, his sister runs the commercial side along with her husband, Philip Tuinder. The domaine holds 30ha of vines in total, in Pouilly-Fuissé, St Veran, Macon and Julienas. The wines are epitomized by fat, rich fruit, whose weight is perfectly balanced with a consistently outstanding backbone of tight acidity.

Tasting Notes

Elegant, focused and refined, exhibiting stewed apple, cashew and smokey notes, with bright refreshing acidity that adds tension and the powerful finish showing faint floral overtones. Polished – classy!,

Food Matches

This wine is great with white meats. Also works well with duck, pork, lamb, salmon; the simpler their cooking, the better! When it comes to pasta, Chardonnay likes creamy sauces, and/or with seafood.

Vinification

Fermented in a mixture of steek tanks and older oak barrels, then 20% matured in new oak with the remainder matured on fine lees in tank.
