POUILLY-FUISSE « Vieilles Vignes »
The POUILLY-FUISSE appellation was established by the decree of 11th September 1936.
Located at the top of the best slope in Fuissé, this vineyard benefits from maximum sunshine and is protected by bordering woods.
Harvesting is done by hand in the traditional way. POUILLY-FUISSE "Vieilles Vignes" is vinified in new oak barrels that are 1 to 5 years old. The oak comes from the Troncais Forest in the Allier department of central France.
Fermentation of around five months in these barrels is enough to give it hazelnut and grilled almond aromas. Two or three years of ageing will be necessary before you can enjoy it with white meat and poultry with cream,
as well as all dishes prepared with smoked fish.
POUILLY-FUISSE "Vieilles Vignes" should be served at 12° - 14°.
This wine can be kept for 8 to 10 years.
POUILLY-FUISSE « Terroir »
The exclusive grape variety is CHARDONNAY, planted on chalky-clay soils that are very rich in limestone.
Almost all parcels are located in the village of Fuissé. On average, these vineyards are approximately 50 years old. Fuissé is an old roman village, surrounded by vine covered valleys.
Harvesting is done by hand in the traditional way. The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural fruit of the grape and the characteristic of each vintage.
Pouilly-Fuissé is a generous and rich wine, with an emerald-gold colour. The nature of the soil favours harmonious development of its fragrance, with a hint of hazelnuts and toasted almonds, and occasionally, exotic fruit. This wine can be kept for 6 years.
POUILLY-FUISSE should be served at 12° - 14°. Young, it will make a delightful aperitif. It goes well with shellfish, fish with sauce, quenelles, sweetbreads and foie gras. |
