Pouilly Fuisse AC Λευκός Ξηρός 2021 750ml / Joseph Drouhin

Ένα κρασί που αποπλανεί ενώ εκφράζει πολύ όµορφα τη ποικιλία Chardonnay. Το χρώµα είναι χρυσαφί µε κάποιες πράσινες ανταύγειες.

Ανάµεσα στα αρώµατα λουλουδιών και φρούτων κυριαρχούν τα αµύγδαλα και τα ώριµα φρούτα. Στη παλέτα είναι φρέσκο και ευχάριστο καθώς και αιθέριο µέσα στην ελαφρότητά του. Μακρά και αναζωογονητική επίγευση.

Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

"A seductive wine and a really nice expression of the Chardonnay grape! The colour is golden, with some green reflections. Among the floral and fruity aromas, almond and ripe grapes dominate. On the palate, the wine is refreshingly pleasant, ethereal in its lightness. Long and refreshing aftertaste".

LA MAISON JOSEPH DROUHIN

In 1880, Joseph Drouhin, who was from the Chablis region originally, chose the city of Beaune to found the business that bears his name. Over the years and with each generation, the vineyard estate grew. At the same time, the founder's passionate search for excellence and knowledge was handed down like a family heirloom; Maison Joseph Drouhin continues to ensure this valuable family heritage.

Dedication to the diversity of Burgundy has always been the sole focus and vocation of Maison Joseph Drouhin, as vineyards - mostly premier and grand crus - were acquired in all major areas.
