R. Dutoit - Les Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuisse 2023

Tasting notes

This old vine 100% Chardonnay from Pouilly-Fuisse in Burgundy has an inviting nose of white-fleshed fruits and honey. The palate is lively on the attack with aromas of pear and white peach. The finish is pretty and harmonious. Serve as an aperitif and also makes the perfect match for fish or seafood as well as white meat and pasta in a creamy sauce.
