This Pouilly-Fuissé is a blend of around twenty Micro-Parcels from the appellation: “Les Combettes, Rossins, Vignes des Champs, les Tâches, Travers, Vers Chânes, etc…”. This panel of “Fuisséen” terroirs, the vines that are between 40 and 70 years old and the different exposures, give this cuvée balance and complexity where the Chardonnay takes on its full dimension.
