Tasting notes:
The Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Vignes du Château’ is a bright, pale gold. It is very open on the nose and expresses notes of hawthorn, acacia blossom and citrus fruit, entwined with a light touch of spice. The attack is crisp, with good acidity, but this develops gradually to give the impression of fullness. It shows pronounced notes of candied citrus fruit and a zesty mineral finish.
About the wine:
Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Vignes du Château’ is a blend of grapes from Château Vitallis’ historic 13th-century plots. The vines, with an average age of 35 years, are planted on clay-limestone Jurassic soils, and bring richness to the wine. Traditional vinification lasts 11 to 12 months and takes place in 30% oak barrels and 70% temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. This subtle combination gives the wine great aromatic intensity.
About the producer:
A family-run wine estate since 1835, located at the foot of the iconic Rock of Solutré, Château Vitalis is proudly and firmly rooted in Burgundy. Driven by their passion and their pursuit of excellence, Denis Dutron and his son Maxime create wines of character that are true to the unique identity of their exceptional terroir. This father and son team put their name to six different AOP wines in the Mâcon-Vinzelles, Mâcon-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé and Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru appellations.
