Info about the wine:
Like the vines in the site "Les Quarts", "Les Longeays" is situated in the south-east in the middle of the slope, but the soil is deeper. Clay and limestone from the middle Jurassic, deeply coloured red by a lot of iron oxide. The view is east - southeast. Approx 20% slope. This character gives the grapes early ripeness year after year. Great ageing potential!
Facts:
Hand harvest, whole cluster pressing. The wines are fermented spontaneously, aged 11 months in Piece and another six months in tank to clarify naturally and be bottled without filtration.
Color:
Muted, medium golden yellow.
Nose:
Im Duft wirkt der 2017er Pouilly-Fuissé Climat “Les Longeays” saftig und reif. Vollreifer Apfel, süße Birne, Quitte, Quittenkompott, Honig und ein Hauch weiße Schokolade. Zitrische Anklänge von Ingwer, duftige Blüten und Zesten von Limette und Orange verleihen ihm Spiel.
Palate:
Smooth and full-bodied it glides over the palate, with a lot of juiciness and fullness. It gives the impression of having bitten into fully ripe fruit and the sweet juice running down the corners of your mouth. But then there's the supremely bracing acidity and subtle phenolics that give it tension and appeal. Please the next glass, and then another one; at most, one gets full from the culinary that accompanies this fine drop.
Recommendation:
Enjoy decanted, not too cold from a large glass.
