Domaine Sève Pouilly Fuissé Terroir 2022

Description

Domaine Sève Pouilly Fuisse 2022 is a lovely fresh white Burgundy from my favourite part of the Burgundy wine region, the Mâconnais in the south. In fact Domaine Sève is based right under the famous Roche de Solutré and benefits from Pouilly terroir where clay and marls give the wine a full, rounded mouthfeel and Solutré terroir where limestone gives mineral characteristics to the wine. The vines have an average age of 40 years old which contribute to the complexity of the wine.

Whilst Domaine Sève Pouilly Fuisse 2022, like many white Burgundy wines, is part vinified in oak, this is a predominantly fruity Chardonnay. It smells and tastes of citrus fruits, ripe pears and apples with cream. There are also floral notes on the nose. The oak lends more to the texture of the wine bringing a creamy mouth-coating feel. The spicy notes from the oak on the palate balance beautifully with the fruit flavours and the minerality. The wine has a long finish with the freshness of the minerality that is peculiar to Pouilly-Fuissé.

Domaine Sève is today run by the 5th generation of Séve winemakers. Brother and sister, Antoine and Mathilde, practise sustainable, environmentally friendly viticulture and aim to perfect the quality of the terroir-focused wines.
