Domaine Dutron & Fils Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Vignes du Château’

Domaine Dutron has been crafting wine in the picturesque town of Fuissé since 1835, where the family estate spans 16 hectares of Chardonnay vineyards. Passed down through generations, Maxime Dutron now oversees the vineyards, continuing the family’s legacy while embracing sustainable farming.

Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Vignes du Château’ is a blend of grapes from historic 13th-century plots. The vines, with an average age of 35 years, are planted on clay-limestone Jurassic soils, and bring richness to the wine.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 13%

APPEARANCE
Bright, pale gold.

NOSE
Very open on the nose and expresses notes of hawthorn, acacia blossom and citrus fruit, entwined with a light touch of spice.

PALATE
The attack is crisp, with good acidity, but it develops gradually to give the impression of fullness. It shows pronounced notes of candied citrus fruit and zesty mineral finish.

AGEING
Traditional vinification lasts 11-12 months and takes place in 30% oak barrels and 70% temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. This subtle combination gives the wine great aromatic intensity.

PAIRING
It makes a perfect aperitif wine, but also pairs well with shellfish and fish, as well as white meats in a creamy sauce.
