TASTING
In its youth, 'VERS CRAS' is a brilliant light yellow color, with a subtle nose of citrus and acacia. As the nature of the soil suggests, the style here is more 'Chablisien' than 'Mâconnais': the palate is taut, saline, with a tight, intense texture enhanced by a fine bitterness. The finish is long and fresh.
Information
At the southernmost tip of Burgundy, the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation covers 800 ha, 194 of which will be classified as Premiers Crus from the 2020 vintage. The villages of Chaintré, Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly and Vergisson make up its exclusive production area, in an exceptional natural setting: the world-famous rocks of Solutré and Vergisson, Jurassic limestone spurs culminating at 495m and classified as a "Grand Site de France". Domaine Georges BURRIER's Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru 'VERS CRAS' is located on the austere, windy Beauregard plateau, at an altitude of 230 m, sloping gently eastwards in the commune of Fuissé. This topography and the very stony white limestone soils of the Corallian massif (Upper Oxfordian) are ideal for the intense, mineral expression of the Chardonnay grape.
