Mâcon-Fuissé Le Haut de Fuissé Pierre Vessigaud
Description
White
Rich and Mineral
Pierre Vessigaud embodies the new generation on this family estate which has been perpetuating its know-how for more than 150 years, as evidenced by this Mâcon Fuissé, a micro-terroir in the heart of the AOC Pouilly-Fuissé. “Haut de Fuissé” comes from two plots; “Long hairs” and “Sceles”; located in the village of Fuissé. The vines have been planted since the 1980s, well after the creation of the appellation in 1929, hence the classification in Mâcon. A unique terroir that gives dense and complex wines.
