Jean Loron Pouilly-Fuisse Cuvee Fut Colbert 2006

A pale gold colour with green reflections characterizes this Pouilly-Fuissé with an intense and complex nose. The flavours of grapefruit and apple are first supplemented by an elegant spicy touch of cinnamon, on a background of toast. The mouth is a beautiful balance, with a dense matter awakened by a vivacity of saline. The aromas are expressive, and above all persistent in a fresh and sharp finish.

Direct pressing. Complete malolactic fermentation. Aged on oak barrels for 30% of volume : 1/3 on new oak barrels, 1/3 on 1 year old barrel and 1/3 on 2 years old barrel during 9 or 10 months. 70% of volume : aged on fine lees in stainless steel.

Pouilly-Fuissé is one of the most prestigious appellations in Mâcon and Burgundy. The 750-hectare Pouilly-Fuissé vineyard covers clay and limestone slopes from the Jurassic period bordering the Saône. It is overlooked by the majestic rocks of Solutré and Vergisson.
