Experience the elegance and complexity of Pouilly-Fuisse Hors Classe 1er Cru Tournant de Pouilly, a refined white Burgundy crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the celebrated Maconnais region. The vineyards, with vines aged between 10 and 35 years, benefit from limestone and clay soils, contributing to the wine's distinctive minerality. The unique winemaking process employs a blend of lined concrete tanks and seasoned oak barrels, imparting nuanced flavours without overwhelming the wine with new oak influence. This balanced approach ensures a wine with both graceful weight and remarkable freshness, designed to develop beautifully over time.
