WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Fuissé Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Château Fuissé winery in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation of Burgundy, France. The wine is made from old vines that are carefully tended to produce low yields of high-quality grapes. The vineyards are located on steep slopes with limestone soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in oak barrels, followed by aging on the lees to enhance the wine's complexity and texture. The resulting wine is elegant and refined, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle hint of oak. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château Fuissé Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé is an outstanding example of the classic style from this Burgundy region.On the nose, aromas of ripe stone fruits, honey, and a hint of smokiness are complemented by nuances of white flowers and licorice. On the palate, flavors of ripe apples, citrus, and minerals are balanced by a hint of oak and a fresh acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasing minerality and a subtle nuttiness. Overall, an incredibly complex and well-structured wine that will pair beautifully with many dishes.
