Emile Béranger - Pouilly Fuissé 2019
Overview
 |
This 2019 Pouilly-Fuissé displays a sparkling pale- gold color. Aromas of ripe pear, acacia flowers, and a touch of lemon zest and mint that follows through to the round, voluminous palate; a full-bodied wine, and balanced by a nice acidity. Superb finish on a subtle mineral note. |
Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
Pressing, juice racking, temperature control during the entire process. This Domaine wine underwent malolactic fermentation and is partially aged in 40% French oak for between six and eight months.

After a careful selection of grapes from small parcels in the region, they are gently pressed and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. 10% of the wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 8 months; the rest sees frequent racking before being blended together and bottled.
