Tasting Notes
Rich and well-balanced palate featuring citrus fruits, white peach, and buttery notes with characteristic Pouilly-Fuissé minerality
Aromatic nose with notes of white flowers, ripe pear, green apple, and subtle hints of hazelnut and minerality
Bright golden yellow color with greenish reflections typical of quality Burgundian Chardonnay
On the palate, it is usually dry, with a crisp acidity, a medium body, and flavors that mirror the aromas, often with a hint of almond or hazelnut on the finish.
Aromas of citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), white flowers (hawthorn, acacia), and subtle notes of green apple and minerality.

The limestone-rich soils of Pouilly-Fuissé create wines with such distinctive minerality that local vignerons can actually taste the difference between parcels just metres apart – it's why Burgundians call it "le terroir parle," the terroir speaks.
