'Brimming with ripe yellow plums and nectarines with candied lemon/lime citrus and honeysuckle; delightfully pure and harmonious with a warming creamy oak consistency and a lovely deft finish. Long and luxurious'

The making and blending of this wine is based on the complementary character in structure and taste, of the different terroirs of Pouilly-Fuissé and reflects the different geology's of this appellation. The majority of our
origins (75%) comes from the side of Fuissé with soils dominated by clay, all situated on the south slope of the Mount Pouilly. The wines from these vineyards are in general richer and bigger structured with as a paradox, also a higher acidity. Other properties are situated in Solutré-Pouilly where the soils contain more limestone offering more mineral character and a lighter style, but very ripe and a lower level of acidity.
These different expressions together make the Pouilly-Fuissé Château- Fuissé 'Tête de Cuvée' into one of the most complete and most typical wines of its appellation, its 'Best blended Cuvée' or 'Tête de Cuvée'. Once bottled this wine will surpass over the years, the primary fruit character of its youth (aromas from yeast, citrus-fruit, flowers and oak) and offer an even more harmonious and noble palate of secondary aromas (ripe fruit character, white almonds, toasted bread, integrated oak scent).
The complexity through maturation places the Pouilly-Fuissé Château-Fuissé amongst the greatest white wines of Burgundy.
