2018 Trenel Pouilly Fuisse, Burgundy

Located in the south of Mâconnais, the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation stretches on 4 communes. Patchwork of soils, it produces gastronomic white wines. Trénel’s Pouilly-Fuissé is produced on parcels nested between the rocks of Solutré and Vergisson. It marries the brightness of the limestone with the roundness of the clay to create a complete wine. Sophisticated but accessible, it will satisfied both novices and connoisseurs.

This elegant wine presents a brilliant gold color and fruity aromas of peach, lemon and green apple. This bouquet is completed with lighter notes of jasmine and acacia as well as buttery and mineral hints. The minerality, character of the limestone terroirs, is the backbone of this wine. The clayey soil of Pouilly gives it its fruity aspect and amplitude. The product of this blend, crisp and full-bodied at the same time, has a long saline finish and a high level of refinement, hallmark of the Pouilly-Fuissé Trénel.  It goes beautifully with a Bresse chicken with morels or a blanquette de veau. Try it on salmon sashimi or prawns with curry for an exotic pairing. To drink within 5 to 10 years.
