Located in the south of the Maconnais, the vineyards of Pouilly-Fuissé occupy the slopes and the base of the rocks of Solutré and Vergisson.
The expectations on the 2017 harvest was high in Burgundy following the 2016 frost that destroyed a large part of last year's harvest. Winter 2016-2017 cold, in line with Burgundy's continental climate with alternating frosts and thaws allowing the earth to expand and to other micro-organism to be eliminated.
March saw some very mild temperatures, favouring a fast growth of the vine. However, the temperatures dropped in April 2017 with freezing temperatures late April. This time, all had anticipated the weather conditions and all vine-growers mobilized at sunrise to light straw fires which allowed the air to circulate and thereby avoid frost.
Nice deep pale yellow in colour with golden hues. The nose offers white peach and lime tree aromas.The palate is round with a nice finesse and a light oakyness. A powerful and tonic finish. Drink within 4 years
Perfect with noble seafood (obsters, crayfish…) but also with foie gras and white meats with a creamy sauce (veal or poultry). Sushi pairs perfectly with its minerality. Ideal with Goat cheese.
