Pouilly-Vinzelles AOC 2020

Wine description for Pouilly-Vinzelles AOC 2020 from La Soufrandière

Colour & appearance

Pale yellow with lively green reflections that emphasise the freshness of this Burgundian Chardonnay.

Nose

Generous and expressive, this Pouilly-Vinzelles presents itself with a bouquet of Agrumen and Citrus zestaccompanied by red currants. Subtle notes of wet stones already indicate the mineral depth that characterises this wine.

Palate

A juicy, rich fruit with a creamy mouthfeel unfolds on the palate. The 4 grams of residual sugar give the wine a pleasant fullness without being overpowering.

Special features
