Pouilly-Fuissé, Bouchard Aîné & Fils

Name: Pouilly-Fuissé, Bouchard Aîné & Fils
SKU: 29333

The Chardonnay grapes for this appellation can only be grown in four villages: Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly, Vergisson and Chaintré. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks, followed by partial maturation in oak barrels for ten months, 20% new oak. Gold with green tints, the elegant, restrained nose shows mineral and floral notes with vegetal undertones enlivened with a touch of honey. A fine, luscious wine, with nuances of hazelnuts and grilled almonds.

Chardonnay

Shar-doe-nay

Chardonnay can produce quality wines in a wide range of climates, with a real varied style. In cool climates like Champagne or Chablis it produces a lean steely wine with pronounced acidity. In warmer climates it develops buttery, honey notes whereas hotter climates, it's richer in body with the flavour of tropical fruits.

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
