£58.00 GBP
£58.00 GBP
The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Le Clos 1er Cru comes from vines with an east exposure on the middle of the slope, a monopole of Château de Fuissé, although each part is vinified separately. It is raised entirely in new oak from a local cooperage in Romaneche-Thorin, although that is far less marked than the vintages that I used to taste 15 to 20 years ago. The palate is nicely balanced and elegant in style. Crucially, as I mentioned already, the new oak is far less obvious, allowing the terroir to come through. Grilled almonds and walnuts appear towards the finish. Sophisticated. - Neil Martin
Château Fuissé Pouilly-Fuissé Le Clos 2022 is a medium- to full-bodied Chardonnay white wine from the Premier Cru climat of Le Clos in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation of the Mâconnais, Burgundy. The top wine in the Château Fuissé cellar, Le Clos uses Chardonnay fruit from different plots within the monopole vineyard of Le Clos. The wine is barrel-fermented and aged for 12 months in 80% new French oak barrels. A ripe, voluminous yet focused white wine with notes of stone and tropical fruits combined with a finely woven minerality and delicate hints of oak spice.
