WINE DESCRIPTION
Sylvaine et Alain Normand Pouilly-Fuissé is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemakers Sylvaine and Alain Normand in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation of Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the region's limestone-rich soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in oak barrels, resulting in a wine with a rich and complex flavor profile. The wine is known for its elegant and refined style, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle hint of oak. It is a perfect accompaniment to seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.
