"A classic, giving the ripeness and concentration of the south married with the finesse and precision of the Cote d'Or. There is lovely detail and mineral freshness, and very pretty white fruit. Fine quality for the price."
Absolutely exquisite white Burgundy - a staff and customer favourite!"
The Drouhin family have access to 6 hectares of the ‘lieu-dit’ Les Clos vineyard, which is the very finest in Bussières, lying just a mile from Pouilly Fuissé and sharing the same terroir.
It has an excellent aspect facing both east and south in a high altitude location, giving both freshness from altitude and ripeness from its optimum aspect. The fruit is harvested to retain freshness, 30% of the wine was matured in 500 litre barrels, giving depth and suppleness with only subtle oak influence. There is a richness and generosity in this wine not often seen in Burgundy at this price level. No patience required, tuck in and enjoy over the next 12-18 months.
