2022 Château du Clos Pouilly-Fuissé Hommage a Leonard Chandon
£45.00
“The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Pouilly Hommage à Léonard Chandon 1er Cru is a cuvée made from the best ten casks from the cellar chosen by Frédéric Burrier and his son. It has wonderful purity on the nose: crushed limestone mixed with peach skin, wild honey and orange blossom. Stunning delineation. The palate is beautifully balanced with deftly integrated new oak, silky smooth, with a touch of Indian spice on the aftertaste. Very special.”

Product Description
The excellence of Château du Clos is expressed in this exceptional cuvée, produced every year, vintage permitting: only a dozen or so wines, the best in the cellar, from the oldest vines. This cuvée pays tribute to Léonard CHANDON, ancestor of the COMBIER family who owned Château du Clos and whose brother Gabriel married Adélaïde MOET, the founder of the famous Champagne House of the same name. 1er Cru POUILLY is located in the heart of Pouilly, a hamlet of the village of Solutré-Pouilly, which gave its name to the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation as the cradle of the production of the great white wines of the Mâconnais: as early as the 18th century, Chardonnay was already being cultivated here, producing wines with a reputation comparable to those of the Côte d’Or.
