CUVÉE PRESTIGE POUILLY-FUISSÉ 2022 AC |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DOMAINE DE POUILLY |
NEW in Vintages. The high end Pouilly-Fuissé AOC was created in 1936. It is 100% Chardonay and is the most famous white region in the Maconnais in southern Burgundy. Sixty years ago PF was the go-to-white of connoisseurs and was featured in almost every fine dining establishment. This one is very good, albeit perhaps a tad pricey. It has a medium-light yellow colour and an attractive, fairly complex, very slightly spicy, fresh, lemon-apple meringue nose with some mineral notes. Dry, medium bodied, bright, fresh, ripe, melon-apple-lemon flavours with a lingering, firm pear-tinged, gently complex, minerally finish. It has 13.5% alcohol, under 2 g/L residual sugar and comes in a heavy glass bottle. Best with seafood and especially oysters. |

TASTING NOTE: This wine is a blend of fruit sourced from three prime plots in the heart of Pouilly-Fuissé. It's focused and taut while maintaining a generous, engaging character. A rich, complex, layered, balanced, inviting wine with wellframed fruit. Approachable now, it will reward another 2+ years in the cellar and will drink into the early 2030s. |
