Tasting notes
Nose: Elegant, fairly reticent, very mineral with flowery, vegetal undertones enlivened with a honey note.
Palate: A fine, pure wine, very smooth. Aromas of citrus fruit in its youth, white fruit such as pear (after 1 to 2 years in bottle), then hints of hazelnut and toasted almond enrich the palate.

Origins
As soon as the incline increases, in the south of Mâcon, around the renowned rocks of Vergisson and Solutré, the vineyard of Pouilly-Fuissé, on clay-limestone soil from the Jurassic era, entirely covers the abrupt hills on little parcels of steep slopes. The harvest is of approximately 40 000 hl for 761 hectares of vines.
On banks of crinoidal limestone, the vineyard lies on the sides and at the base of the rocks on gravelly scree and clay-limestone soils dating back to the Jurassic period. Note also the clay soils on a granitic bedrock in the westernmost part of the appellation.
Steep incline/Eastern, south-eastern exposure/Altitude of 200 m to 350 m.
Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2022
2022 brought uncertain conditions, but was finally mild throughout the season!
The harvest took place from around 25 August to 16 September.
The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure, giving balanced and honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot.
2022 is a pleasant vintage in terms of quality with good yields, for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
