Description

Since 1983, the Dutoit family has provided M. Touton with exceptional wines from the Pouilly-Fuissé region. This is the source of some of the most sought-after white wines in Burgundy. Produced exclusively from old vine Chardonnay grapes, they tend to be slightly richer in style than wines from further north due to its warmer weather. These wines show great versatility; they can be enjoyed young and can also improve with a little time in the cellar. The wines from Pouilly-Fuissé are considered some of the best values for white Burgundy. These wines are priced to move!

Tasting notes

A very approachable Chardonnay that's well-rounded in flavors of white peach, green apple, ripe pear and spice notes. The palate is lively and the finish is pretty and harmonious. Serve as an aperitif and also makes the perfect match for fish or seafood as well as white meat and pasta in a creamy sauce.

Vinification

Grown in limestone and clay soils, this Chardonnay goes through a traditional Burgundian vinification. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. Fermentation is carried out in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks at 16°C.

Food pairing

Blends elegantly with meat and fish with a noble and beautiful texture (veal or chicken in white sauce, roasted sea bass, but also foie gras) or grilled seafood and sauce (shrimp, lobster). Delicious as an aperitif and with cheeses with a light taste (Camembert, Brie, Blue cheese, Goat cheese, Gruyere).
