Pouilly-Fuissé "Le Clos"

Tasting

This Pouilly-Fuissé "Le Clos" has smoky notes followed by very fine aromas of white flowers and linden blossom. The palate is round and supple with fantastic balance between roundness and vivacity. This expressive, rich, full-flavoured wine has a long, refreshing finish.
