Pouilly-Fuissé 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This is a blend of the best representative parcels of the Fuissé amphitheatre. Planted between 2017 and 1947, a little more than 70 years separate the youngest vines from the oldest. The average age is 40 years. Interestingly, one of the oldest plots used in this cuvée (Les Vernays, planted in 1955) is the source of the massal selection made by the domaine. Within this one cuvée one can find a snapshot of Fuissé's geological complexity.
Harvest Note
The vintage was challenging due to excessive rainfall through most of the growing season, and the inevitable poor flowering and fungal pressures which resulted. High temperatures contributed to the tropical ambiance, which only began to moderate in the final weeks before harvest, which occured between September 12 - 23.
Tasting Note
A caressing touch, a tasty finish and a fresh texture characterize this emblematic cuvée. A reductive woodsy note suggests a positive aging potential for this cuvée.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
