Tasting notes
Jean Auvigue is one of the most highly respected specialists of Pouilly in the south of Burgundy. His small domaine produces Mâcon Fuissé of the highest quality with vibrant Chardonnay fruit. The classic terroir, that is unique to these vineyards located below the hill of Solutré, expresses itself beautifully in this elegant wine. The juice is fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve and promote the delicious ripe flavours of apricot, peach and apple along with a fresh minerality. The malolactic fermentation adds complexity and a beautiful rich creamy texture that is well-known for this style.
Food match
The creamy character of Mâconnais wines combines well with fish, snails, poultry and game birds and goose.
