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

Estate

Olivier Merlin estate is a benchmark in the Mâconnais region for its Chardonnay white wines, combining finesse and terroir expression. The estate emphasizes traditional know-how and continuous pursuit of quality.

Vineyard

Located in the heart of the Mâconnais, the vineyard benefits from an ideal exposure and limestone soils that favor the production of great white wines. The Premier Cru Olivier Merlin site produces ripe grapes with fine aromatic precision.

Wine

The Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Olivier Merlin 2022 is an expressive and structured white wine, typical of Chardonnay in this appellation. It balances freshness and complexity, reflecting the elegance and mineral character of the terroir.

Vintage

The 2022 vintage, marked by good ripeness and natural balance, offers a wine with controlled acidity and clear aromatic intensity. The harvest took place under favorable sanitary conditions ensuring fruit quality.

Vinification & Aging

Vinification focuses on preserving primary aromas and freshness, often carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Aging is partially in oak barrels, providing roundness and complexity without overshadowing the purity of Chardonnay.

Grape Variety

100% Chardonnay

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with green highlights.
  • Nose: Elegant aromas of white flowers, candied lemon, and a characteristic minerality of the terroir.
  • Palate: Fresh and lively attack, developing notes of ripe white fruits and a beautiful minerality on the finish, with balanced structure and harmonious length.

Serving

Serve chilled between 11 and 12°C. A light decanting for about one hour can help open up the bouquet.

Food Pairings

This Pouilly-Fuissé pairs well with roast sea bream with beurre blanc, green asparagus risotto, herb-roasted free-range chicken, or an 18-month aged Comté cheese.

Occasions

Ideal for an important business meal, a refined dinner with friends, or a special Sunday family gathering.

Aging Potential
