Aegerter Pouilly-Fuisse

A Few Words On The Appellation

This village appellation from the vineyards of the Mâconnais produces only white wines and solely from Chardonnay grapes. Established in 1936, this AOC brings together the four villages of Solutré-Pouilly, Fuissé, Vergisson and Chaintré.

100% Chardonnay

After being harvested by hand, the grapes are destalked and then pressed ready for vinification in new 500 litre oak barrels. The wines are then aged for 6 to 12 months in barrels that have seen two previous vintages.

With a robe going from pale to deep gold with green highlights, this wine offers a bouquet of varied aromas: mineral, almond and
hazelnut, citrus (lemon, grapefruit, pineapple), peach, lime and acacia, breadcrumbs, buttered brioche and honey. On the palate, with opulent features, its structure is straight, favoured by good natural richness. It is characterised by finesse and distinction.

This wine is very well suited to noble shellfish, such as prawns, lobster and crayfish, as well as to cooked foie gras. Its good balance also makes it ideal with white meat and, of course, with goat’s cheese. Spicy, very fragrant dishes such as couscous and fish tajine or sushi will be excellent partners.

Serve at a temperature of 11 to 13°C. It is pleasant young, but it is also worth keeping for 3 to 5 years.
