Domaine des 3 Dames Pouilly Fuissé (magnum)

Domaine des 3 Dames Pouilly Fuissé

Domaine des 3 Dames Pouilly Fuissé has a clear, light golden color. Flavors of buttered pineapple, lightly grilled, very mineral. In the mouth rich, fat, juicy, full of fruit, very long with a nice salt content. Buttered and toasted at the end. All plots for this wine are located in the municipality of Solutré-Pouilly. The vines get their minerals from the depths of the marl of old entroque limestone, the same limestone that forms the Roche de Solutré. The resulting wines develop a clever blend of aromas of exotic fruits and minerals.
