Château des Rontets
Pouilly-Fuissé "Les Birbettes", 2017

 

Pouilly-Fuissé

€79.50

750ml Bottle

A rich, gourmand vintage for this lovely cuvée, the 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Birbettes offers up an attractive bouquet of ripe yellow orchard fruits, beeswax, peach, pear and pastry cream. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and textural, with impressive depth and concentration, underpinned by surprisingly succulent acids and concluding with a promisingly lifted finish.
