Andreas Larson - Tasted "Bright straw colour. Pure nose offering some grapey and floral notes with white fleshed fruit, sweet pear and almond. The palate shows a hint of oak, medium weight with a ripe acidity, crushed pear and apple flavours, some toast and a medium to long finish."

Andreas Larson - Tasted "Bright light golden colour. Fine nose displaying gentle oak and toast with some butter, brioche and pale stonefruit. Textured with a medium body, flavour intense with elegant fruit, fine oak integration, a slight nuttiness underlined by a vibrant acidity and fine length." (2019 vintage)

Le Hachette des Vins "This brilliant Pouilly-Fuissé with pistachio highlights offers a complex olfaction bringing together woody scents (brioche, butter, nutmeg) with softer notes of peach, apricot and acacia flowers. A lively attack gives way to a supple, floral and long palate." (2018 vintage)

Pouilly-Fuissé is the home of the finest white wines of southern Burgundy's Maconnais district. They are produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the communes of Chaintré, Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly and Vergisson. The typical Pouilly-Fuissé wine is full-bodied, ripe and relatively elegant, with the best examples rivaling the finer wines of the Côte de Beaune. The zone currently covers around 800 hectares (2000 acres) of hillside vineyards, planted on limestone-rich clay soils over a granitic base. The 500m (1640ft) limestone escarpment known as the Roche de Solutré is located at the heart of the appellation's vine-growing area and towers over the vineyards below. The Clos Reyssié in particular is the most famous terroir in the village of Chaintré, one of the four villages in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation.

Burgundy (Bourgogne in French) is an historic and highly respected wine region in eastern France. Burgundy wines have long had devout followers throughout the world and continue to do so today. Although Bordeaux produces about four times as much wine every year, Burgundy’s estimated 74,000 acres (30,000ha) of vineyards are considered to be of equal importance, producing some of the most exclusive wines on Earth.
