Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru "Sur La Roche"  -  Domaine Guerrin & Fils

CERTIFICATION HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale)

Varietal : Chardonnay

Age of vines : 55 years

Area : 0,40 Hectare 

Terroir :  On the high slopes of the Roche de Vergisson, this terroir is characterized by a high altitude and a soil with white limestones. This plot is swept by East winds that preserve an excellent balance in wines. 

The wine : After manual harvesting, the juice is extracted gently using a pneumatic press. Vinification takes place in oak barrels that have been used for up to five years, and of which 15% are new oak. Ageing of 10 to 12 months allows the wines to improve slowly. 

Tasting :  Noticed by his strong character, this wine is characterized by his pureness and a high mineral expression. In the mouth, it reveals a great delicacy with tautness, precision and minerality. 

Food and wine combinations : It makes a wonderful accompaniment to fish, white meats and goat’s cheese, but can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.

Drinking recommandations :  It is ready for drinking now, but can be kept for around 10 years.
