Trenel Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat ‘Les Quarts’

AOC Pouilly-Vinzelles, Mâconnais, France

2019

Tasting Notes

The wine is bright, with remarkable clarity and brilliant golden hues. The nose has an intense bouquet, with aromas of stone fruits such as apricot and peach and a hint of citrus fruits present also. The palate is dense and rich with aromatic fruit perfectly balanced with a clean acidity, that brings freshness and a persistent finish.

Food Pairings

Serve between 11° to 13°C with roast chicken or grilled seafood, or even better with an aged Comté.

Winemaking Notes

Light settling, immediate casking, indigenous yeasts, temperature maintained between 20° and 21° to give opulence and structure to the wine. Full malolactic fermentation. Ageing in French oak barrel for 12 months.

Vineyard Notes

Located near Mâcon, Pouilly-Vinzelles is produced in the commune of Vinzelles, specifically on its finest vineyard, "Les Quarts," which covers only 10 hectares. The vines still bear the influence of the Roche de Solutré, with the presence of Jurassic clay-limestone soils. Chardonnay is the only permitted grape variety. Here, it yields a result found nowhere else in Burgundy.
