    Description of Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru En France "Clos de France"

    Estate

    The Olivier Merlin estate is recognized for its expertise in producing fine white Burgundy wines. Located in the Mâconnais, it emphasizes the richness and pure expression of the terroir in each bottle.

    Vineyard

    The Mâconnais vineyard benefits from a temperate climate and clay-limestone soils that are ideal for Chardonnay cultivation. The region is known for balanced, aromatic white wines with pronounced typicity.

    Wine

    The Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Olivier Merlin 2021 is an elegant white wine showing great aromatic complexity. With a score of 93 from La Revue du Vin de France, this vintage demonstrates finesse and richness, perfectly expressing Chardonnay from a premier cru terroir.

    Vintage

    The 2021 vintage experienced a cool and humid season that preserved natural acidity and remarkable aromatic freshness. This wine offers a promising balance between liveliness and ripe flavors.

    Vinification & Aging

    Careful vinification preserves fruit purity and the terroir’s characteristic minerality. Well-managed oak barrel aging adds subtle toast complexity without overshadowing the wine’s freshness and finesse.
