Maison Henry Fessy 2014 “Sous La Roche” Pouilly Fuisse

Pouilly-Fuissé lies at the southernmost border of Burgundy, just above Beaujolais.  The town is famous for its Roche de Solutré: the limestone ridge that is the basis for its famous calcareous soils. The Sous La Roche vineyard means “under the rock,”  which can be taken literally:  the vineyard is located downhill from Roche de Solutré.

Wine Review

The Henry Fessy is a  pure expression of white Burgundy. Elegant pear aromas quickly overpower the slightest hint of butter. On the palate, crisp tree fruit and river rocks make way to fresh citrus and a touch of marmalade—a gorgeous bottle of Chardonnay.
