Produced from a 0.50-hectare parcel on the sunny slopes of Fuissé and classified as Pouilly Fuissé 1er Cru since 2020, this wine comes from vines over 80 years old, rooted in deep limestone marl soils.

The nose reveals a complex palette blending lime blossom and acacia with bergamot and blood orange. The richness of honey completes the picture, giving it a slightly spicy depth that is most promising.

The palate is fleshy, full-bodied and supported by perfectly balanced acidity. The definition of the terroir is distilled with great precision, between the power of the marl and the minerality of the limestone. Aromatic notes of white flowers, citrus and honey stretch through to the finish, whose salinity gives this wine an allongevity worthy of a great Pouilly Fuissé 1er Cru.
