2015 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Vignes Dessus

Wine colour

Region

France > Burgundy > Mâconnais

Vintage:

2015

Producer:

Domaine Gilles Morat

Tasting Notes:

Old vines here, with two parcels averaging fifty years of age. The soil is blue clay which provides richness and texture, though everything is kept in balance. The 10% new oak adds some structure and complexity and the evident weight, which comes, in part, from the low yields, is well controlled. Drink from 2018.

Press Reviews:

`Pale, bright yellow. Very expressive, sweet nose offers scents of tangy orange zest, flowers and pastry shell. With lovely floral intensity and power from the clay soil, this Pouilly-Fuissé calls for a bit of patience. ` 89+ points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
