Château Pouilly - Cuvée 1551 2019
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“A great vintage that echoes the ‘ Favorite ’ award received for the 2016 vintage. A Pouilly-Fuissé unanimously appreciated for its powerful bouquet of white fruits (peach and pear), spices, and citrus, as well as for its equally intense and complex palate, remarkable for its generosity, body, balance, depth, and length. A wine with a very assertive character and impressive depth, celebrating the château’s very first harvest nearly five centuries ago!” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

About the wine:
A great vintage that echoes the “ Favorite ” award received for the 2016 vintage. A Pouilly-Fuissé unanimously appreciated for its powerful bouquet of white fruits (peach and pear), spices, and citrus, as well as for its equally intense and complex palate, remarkable for its generosity, body, balance, depth, and length.

About the estate:
Perched on Mount Pouilly, just outside the hamlet, this château has stood proudly since 1551 amid its 7 hectares of vineyards. At the helm since 1981, Ms. Canal du Comet aims to restore the prestige of this estate, which played a leading role in the World’s Fairs between 1862 and 1912. Traditions are upheld here, from the vineyard to the bottle (12 months of winemaking, blending before bottling, and extended aging in bottles).
