Bright, light yellow color. The nose reveals aromas of white flowers (lemon, honeysuckle) and white fruit (pear) with toasty touches. The palate is pure, taut and complex, with saline and toasty notes and a long, fresh finish.
At the southernmost tip of Burgundy, the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation covers 800 hectares, 194 of which will be classified as Premiers Crus from the 2020 vintage. The villages of Chaintré, Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly and Vergisson constitute its exclusive production area, in an exceptional natural setting: the world-famous rocks of Solutré and Vergisson, Jurassic limestone spurs culminating at 495 m and classified as a "Grand Site de France". The 1er Cru LES CRAYS is located at an altitude of 400m, on the steeply sloping (15-20%) south-facing hillside below the Roche de Vergisson cliff, on very stony (scree), fairly deep, brown clay-limestone soils. LES CRAYS is also our oldest vineyard (1948) and our smallest 1er Cru, with just 13 ares producing 300 to 600 bottles a year.
