Château Fuisse
Tête de Cuvée Pouilly-Fuisse Chardonnay
Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France
Zero expectations here, and I am now on the hunt for more. Absolutely killer and (evidently) a wonderful QPR.
Didn’t know what type of profile to expect here, but I (incorrectly) assumed it would be somewhere in the middle and while pleasant enough, nothing to write home about. What I found was a wine that reminds me an awful lot of Domaine de la Bongran’s EJ Thevnet (all time favorite of mine), yet dialed back just a touch. Light gold in the glass, big aromatics of ripe peach, yellow fruits, and a dash of baking spice. Texturally is leans bigger, but the finish snaps back with great acidity. Lemon cream, golden raspberries, limestone and a vibrant finish. Whereas the Bongran has a touch of sweetness, this has more of a small perception of sweetness. Loved it.

Great bang for the buck burg with a nice round mouthfeel, god acidity and minerality, with a bit of stone fruit mixed in. Yumz!

Pleasant mouth feel with a rich silky texture. Smoky aroma and finish. Drier chard than I typically like, but quite nice.
