This Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru from Domaine Luquet is an elegant white Burgundy crafted from 100% Chardonnay. The Premier Cru vineyard "Les Vignes Blanches" is situated on limestone-rich clay slopes in the Mâconnais, producing a wine with remarkable finesse, vibrant minerality, and an excellent balance between richness and freshness.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Bright golden yellow with pale green reflections.
Nose: Elegant aromas of white flowers, ripe peach, apricot, citrus and pear, complemented by subtle hints of hazelnut, toasted almond and a delicate touch of vanilla from oak ageing.
Palate: Rich and creamy with excellent freshness and lively acidity. Flavours of ripe stone fruit and citrus are enhanced by pronounced minerality. The finish is long, refined and delicately spicy.

Ageing Potential
