| Description: | Beginning with the 1992 vintage, Château Fuissé started producing a single vineyard bottling from their Le Clos vineyard. This cuvée has become one of Pouilly-Fuissé's top wines with the stature and aging capacity of the whites of the Côte de Beaune. The Vincent family always considered this special site to be of grand cru quality, and recently it was officially made a premier cru by the a ppellation controlée. Made from a walled parcel directly behind the Château, the soils contain dense clay, marl and limestone, and the site has a perfect south/ southeast exposure. The vineyard is planted entirely to Chardonnay vines that average 45+ years of age. Château Fuissé Le Clos is barrel fermented and aged in the cool cellars below the château for 12 months. 80% of the barrels are new. The wine is is then moved to the state-of-the-art winemaking facility for clarification and bottling. Quantities are limited to under 500 cases a year. Le Clos is extraordinarily rich with layer upon layer of ripe apple, pear, and spice. The finish is driven by minerality with a firm gripping acidity. |
