Domaine Dutron & Fils Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru ‘Les Perrières’

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 1er Cru ‘Les Perrières’ is made from individually selected vineyard plots. In 2013, Denis and Maxime Dutron decided to honour one of the best climats in Fuissé – Les Perrières – by creating a cuvée in its name, full of opulence and fruit.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 13.5%

APPEARANCE
Crystal clear, yellow-gold hue with silver highlights.

NOSE
On the nose it is elegant and delicate, releasing aromas of fresh almond, buttery brioche and white flowers.

PALATE
The attack is supple and buttery. The midpalate is both mineral and toasty and packed with hazelnut and grilled almond flavours. The overall impression is one of refinement with good tension.

AGEING
Fermentation is left to occur naturally, on the fine lees and exclusively in oak barrels for 11 months in order to do justice to this prestigious terroir, and 6 month in tanks.

PAIRING
It is particularly good with fine shellfish and white meats in a creamy sauce.
