Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru "La Maréchaude" Domaine Guerrin & Fils

Terroir : Located midway up the slopes, La Marechaude is directly south- facing. Its soil is fairly deep Jurassic rock made up of an accumulation of shale from the Pliensbachian age. Its high proportion of clay means it produces wines with great aromatic density, while the limestone provides harmony and minerality.

The wine : The must is extracted gently using a pneumatic press. It then undergoes static settling for 20 to 24 hours. Fermentation is carried out naturally thanks to the indigenous yeast, without the addition of selected yeast. Vinification is carried out in oak barrels that have been used for up to five years, and of which 20% are new oak. Ageing of 16 months allows the wines to improve slowly.

Tasting : This opulent wine, of great aromatic richness, is characterized by dense and warm aromas of very ripe fruits such as peach or tropical fruits. It has a good structure, with a fruity and fleshy attack that opens with a rich body with sweet, buttery and toasted notes. This wine captures all the power and finesse of the Maréchaude terroir.

 
Food and wine combinations :
