2016  

The Chardonnay is the grape variety of the Pouilly-Fuissé.

Colour: Nice pale gold with emerald highlights.
Nose: quite distinctive, revealing a delicate fruit aroma : white fruits (peach) and a mineral touch. Plenty of freshness.
Palate: The mouth is harmonious, well balanced, the flavors are both mineral and fruity. A wine with very nice typicity, refined, elegant, and full of charm.

Serve at a temperature of 12 to 14°C.

This wine can be opened now or kept in the cellar for the next 3 years.

Manual picking allows for rigorous grape selection during the harvest. 
After a slight settling of the juice, the must is fermented in temperature-controlled tanks.

It's been a long time since winegrowers had not had to bear a long hard way to give birth to a new vintage. During the months of April, May and June 2016, they suffered the dramatic consequences of freezing, hail falls, downy mildew attacks, fears of powdery mildew, etc. Many are those who suffered very hard from these vagaries of the weather, to the point of sometime wishing that year ends as soon as possible and doubt of the future. Finally, July and then August and September, with the full sun, made forget a little of the trouble and return the morale in the vineyard.

In Burgundy, during the harvest, the vines were green but a lot, however, hid under their foliage, a lack of grapes. Burgundy this year still produces a small crop, even very small for some names (Chablis). But for saved vineyards and those who could enjoy a "push", the grapes were at the rendezvous, in good proportion. When the winemaker, this year of 2016, brought all the necessary care to this vine battered by successive storms and managed to bring the fruit to mature, so wines are of good quality. They are concentrated, with enough silky tannin, and have an acidic balance of good quality.

It is therefore a year of "winegrower and winemaker", which will make a qualitative difference. This turbulence will not have been enough to begin our morale and we are proud to introduce you to the vintage 2016.
