| Pouilly Fuissé |
| situation |
Stretching over 750 hectares, the Pouilly Fuissé appellation produces about 40,000 hl (that is 444,000 cases.) per year. The appellation is shared by four communes: Chaintré, Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly and Vergisson.
TRENEL selects its cuvée from a vine-grower at Pouilly. |
| tasting |
| Brilliant pale gold. Nose of exotic fruits (passion fruit). This impression is confirmed by the frank, generous palate with its complex aromas of fresh butter, fern and lemon verbena. A harmonious, supple Pouilly Fuissé with a pure, long finish. |
| HOW TO DRINK AND SERVE |
Serve at 8 ° to 12° C as an aperitif or throughout the meal. It goes beautifully with white meat, chicken in cream sauce, fish and shellfish and even goat's cheese.
