Pouilly-Fuissé:
Part of the huge white wine producing district of the Mâconnais,
the appellation of Pouilly-Fuissé produces six million bottles of
white wine every year. Made entirely with the Chardonnay grape and
varying in quality from the basic to the sublime, the wines of Pouilly-Fuissés
are some of the most famous white Burgundies in the world. At their
best, however, these wines have powerful, fruity aromas, often developing
unusual complexity after a few years in the bottle.
About the Producer:
Maurice and Corine Desrayaud produce this light, dry wine in a manner
that makes it one of the best wines from its region. An important
element of the depth of these wines is the vineyard location near
the village of Vergisson. These wines are the perfect complement
for poultry or seafood.
Tasting Notes:
2006: A beaut of a Chardonnay without the signature
Chardonnay pucker. The complex fruit and floral aromas of
this wine carry forward to its flavor. Well balanced acids
make this a refreshing wine. 2007:
Again, a well-balanced and delightful Chardonnay.
