Maison Valette 'Pouilly-Fuisse' 2018 750ml

Pouilly-Fuisse



A benchmark for this wonderful estate, this is one of my favourite wines of all, every year, if you have the patience and a good cellar, you can keep them almost forever!
(from 60-year-old vines; aged for 30 months in older barrels): Pouilly-Fuissé produces the grandest wines of the Mâconnais and it's best wines can age for many years. This terrific wine offers a riveting combination of rich, roasted hazelnuts and grapefruit with bright acidity and deep, powerful minerality; it's medium to full-bodied, textural and concentrated, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, saline finish. This 2018, bottled in 2023, is the second part of my allocation of Valette's incredible Pouilly-Fuissé. Super.
