Pouilly Fuissé 2005

Grape Variety : Chardonnay

Soil : Clay and limestone

Site : South of Burgundy, in the heart of the Mâconnais region, the area of production is located on the villages of Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly, Vergisson and Chaintré.

The Vintage 2005 : Exceptional after a superb growing season - cold winter, rainy spring followed by hot and dry summer. Grapes picked at optimum ripeness and in perfect health, hence a minimum sorting was required.

Tasting : Pale gold colour with emerald tinges. Floral fragrances mixed with exotic fruit and enhanced by a well-integrated mineral note. Very refreshing, well structured and well balanced. Good aromatic combination. Good minerality in the aftertaste.

Food pairing : Fish, cooked pork meat, "charcuteries" ("jambon persillé"), white meat and some goat cheeses
