🌟 Château Fuissé ‘Les Brûlés’ 2018 – Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru 🌟
An iconic Pouilly-Fuissé that captures the sunshine in your glass! 🌞 The family estate Château Fuissé, owned by the Vincent family since 1862, is world-renowned as a flagship of the appellation. Their micro-cuvée ‘Les Brûlés’ – literally ‘the burnt ones’ – is their pride and joy: a tiny plot of 0.83 hectares, steep, south-facing and situated directly behind the château. Thanks to its sun-drenched exposure and the clay-limestone, stony soil, this parcel yields grapes with remarkable concentration.
🍇 Tasting Notes
Deep golden yellow in the glass with an enticing bouquet of honey, ripe peach, tropical fruit, hints of vanilla and toasted bread, delicately accented by a smoky nuance. On the palate it is rich and powerful, yet with a vibrant freshness that keeps everything in perfect balance. The finish is long and complex, echoing nuts and spices in a refined aftertaste.
