Tasting Notes
The nose is complex and reveals so much about the personality of the wine. It shows aromas of minerality, citrus, and gently toasted fruit. On the palate, there are flavors of the characteristic fossiliferous limestone terroir, perfectly balanced with the subtle toasty notes provided by the oak.

Aging Potential
Pouilly-Fuisse is a wine for aging. Thus, it is worth leaving it "forgotten" in the cellar for 3 to 10 years before tasting it.

Serving Suggestions
Serving Temperature: 12-13 degrees C
Pairings: It ideally partners with noble crustaceans, fish, white meat in cream sauce, and foie gras.

Winemaker's Comments
This Pouilly-Fuisse is made from grapes from one of the best vineyards in Vergisson: Les Close des Croux, ideally situated on the southern slopes under the rock of Vegisson.
