Laurent Perrachon Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes

Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Laurent Perrachon is a white wine produced in the famous Pouilly-Fuissé appellation in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes from old vines, resulting in a complex and concentrated character.

The grapes for this wine come from different plots in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. The vineyards are located on calcareous clay soil with stones, which provides a mineral character to the wine. The old vines, with an average age of 50 years, deliver grapes with optimal ripeness and concentration.

The grapes are harvested by hand and then destemmed and crushed. The fermentation takes place at low temperature in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine matures for 9 to 12 months on the lees in oak barrels, a small percentage of which are new.

Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes has a bright, golden yellow color. The nose is complex and expressive, with aromas of ripe white fruits such as peach, apricot and pineapple, combined with floral notes, hints of vanilla and toast and mineral nuances. The taste is powerful and full, with a nice balance between fresh acidity, round texture and a long, persistent aftertaste. The wine has a complexity that further develops during maturation.

Wine - Food pairing

Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes is a perfect accompaniment to various dishes. Perfect with fish dishes, shellfish, poultry, white meat and creamy sauces. The wine can also be paired with grilled vegetables and salads with rich dressings.
