Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Beginning with the 2020 vintage a group of vineyards of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation were granted Premier Cru status. Jadot, as a leading producer of the region, has embraced this advance in a unique manner. This wine is composed of grapes from multiple unique sites newly elevated to Premier Cru. The resulting assemblage presents a recognition of the overall quality of the new appellation.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Harvest began with dry weather on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in very good condition.
Tasting Note
Aromas of candied lemon and acacia flowers lead to a palate sensation of brioche and wet stones. The texture is broad and expansive while supported by bright and ripe acidity.
