Claude Manciat Pouilly-Fuisse Courtelong 2023

Region: Burgundy, France

Grape Variety: Chardonnay

Marie-Pierre produces several Pouilly-Fuissé cuvées, this one is a blend of several sites, an assembly of her best and oldest vines. The majority of the wine is Les Crays, which is a Premier Cru. The wine is fermented and aged in 85% stainless steel and 15% in 1 year old French barriques. Here you see why this region is now gaining the attention it deserves. The nose of this wine is more restrained than the other bottlings, with subtle notes of green apple, lemon peel, pineapple and shaved celery root. On the palate the wine shows superb concentration but is restrained, with the minerality and acidity holding it in cheque
