Chateau Vitallis Pouilly Fuisse

This property, situated in heart of the picturesque village of Fuisse, is one of the few large estates in the area and covers 24 acres. It has been owned by the Dutron family since 1835. The vineyards are situated on Southeast facing slopes at an altitude of 750 to 900 feet in the villages of Fuisse and Solutre. The estate is known for its old vines, some of which are over 65 years old. The average age is 35 years. The present owner, Monsieur Denis Dutron uses traditional methods in the vineyards and in his temperature-controlled cellar. The use of stainless steel vats assures a long cool fermentation and preservation of the fruit and aromas. His wines are regular medal winners in the many French competitions.

A bright, pale gold. It is very open on the nose and expresses notes of acacia blossom and citrus fruit, entwined with a light touch of spice. The attack is crisp, with good acidity and a weighty mouth feel. A rich mineral finish. Pair with white meat or seafood with richer sauces.
