2018 Domaine Corsin Pouilly-Fuisse Maconnais

2018 Domaine Corsin Pouilly-Fuisse Maconnais

€41.95
The Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vigne is made from 55 year old Chardonnay vines grown on loam and limestone with clay subsoils at an altitude between 220-260 meters. All grapes are harvested manually and, after a gentle pressing, are fermented in temperature controlled vats, then matured in 40% oak barrels (20% of which are new) before blending. The wine displays a bright golden color with a great mix of fruit and oak flavors with a sharp acidity and a well defined and focused structure.

Description

Domaine Corsin is now in its fifth genration of family leadership which began in the late 19th century. The Corsin family has always been one of the highest quality producers in the south of Burgundy, creating some of the most outstanding Chardonnay's in the region from the communes of Davayé, Fuissé and Solutré. It would not be a stretch to say that their wines set a benchmark that others measure themselves by. The estate consists of 13.6 hectares of vines planted in the appellations of Mâcon, Saint Veran, and Pouilly-Fuissé. All of their production is dedicated to the Chardonnay grape.
