Château Fuissé : Pouilly-Fuissé Village "Les Combettes" 2023

Ripe and showing new oak notes of vanilla and toast up front, with peach and apple underneath. Succulent and fading gracefully on the moderately long finish. Drink now through 2028. 100 cases imported.

The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Combettes was harvested at the end of the picking as usual. This has a cohesive bouquet with orchard fruit, crushed stone and touches of chalk mixed with lemon verbena. The palate is quite tensile on the entry, more reserved in style compared to the Tête-de-Cuvée with a little more body and grip on the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.
