Le Clos Reyssier Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru
Pouilly-Fuissé, Burgundy, France
2020
Tasting Notes
The 2020 Premier Cru le Clos Reyssier reveals a subtle golden color, with green reflections. Expressive, racy, and dominated by minerality, it opens with hints of cookies and almond brioche. The palate is alternately silky and saline, offering a chalky flavor that mirrors the terroir.
Vineyards
The grapes are from a small Southeast-facing parcel in the region with many vines over 50 years old
Winemaking
After a careful selection of grapes, they are gently pressed and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. Twenty-percent of the wine is aged in new French oak barrels for ten months. The rest sees frequent racking before being blended together and bottled for maximum roundness and complexity.
