Description
White
Subtilité et finesse
Located in the town of Fuissé, this 0.57 ha plot is one of the best known in the appellation. Very well-known plot in the village of Fuissé, classified as “Premier cru”. Exposed due east at mid-slope on so-called "Chouin" limestone. Here is a rich, mineral and very long wine, subtlety and finesse characterize this cuvée. “I would say a high class feminine wine.
