Pouilly-Fuissé "Aux Vignes Dessus" (White)

Origine

This wine comes from a location recorded on the official land register as the "Aux Vignes Dessus" climat in Vergisson. The soil is made up of "Triassic striated clay". The vineyard sits at the top of a south-facing slope. 

Vinification

The grapes are picked by hand and pressed immediately.  After settling, the must is fermented directly in barrels (French oak barrels) during 11 months. The wine will stay on its lees until the following August. After regular stirring of the lees and topping up, and after malo-lactic fermentation is completed, the wine is racked, blended, lightly filtered and bottled at the Domaine.

Notes de dégustation

The wine possesses a beautiful golden yellow hue and pronounced notes of ripe fruit on the nose.  It is rich and powerful, yet retains a beautiful mineral purity, characteristic of the village of Vergisson.  Soft and intense. 

Mets d'accompagnements

Half-cooked or pan-fried foie gras, turbot in hollandaise sauce, Bresse chicken with mushrooms, and cheeses such as Epoisses or Langres.
