FR Pouilly-Fuissé Bouchard Ainé & Fils

Variant:

Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils, is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy, perpetuating tradition for nearly 3 centuries and 9 generations.


VINTAGE: 2018

VARIETAL 100% Chardonnay.

TASTING NOTES Revealing citrusy notes as well as fresh fruits aromas underlined by woody scents.

VINIFICATION AND MATURING

Vinification took place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures; we intentionnally settled the temperature around 18°C (64°F) to get the purest color and rich aromas. We also chose a long alcoholic fermentation (25 days) to ensure a good dryness in the wine

Currently the wine is still ageing to total in the end about 10 months ageing. 

The harvest was divided in two parts (proportions winemaker's secret...sorry!) to age in oak barrels and vats. It will enhance the natural complexity of this appellation, making the citrus aromas and minerality outstand and mix harmoniously with its rich toasted aromas. 

We are also using a proportion of 30% new oak barrels to get subtle woody notes. 

Furthermore, the malolactic fermentation will be brought to its end to make the fatness more present and the wine more supple.
