Saumaize-Michelin Pouilly Fuissé Les Courtelongs – 2016

This delicious white Burgundy comes from vines over 80 years old which gives the wine wonderful intensity of flavour, grip and balance. The butterscotch oak flavours are beautifully integrated with the gentle honeysuckle, peach and apple fruit flavours, making this an ideal companion to smoked salmon or other slightly smoky foods.

“The 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Courtelongs wafts from the glass with notes of fresh peach, Meyer lemon, honeycomb and almond paste. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, glossy and textural, with lovely depth and concentration but an elegant, understated style. This is a very classy Pouilly-Fuissé from Jacques and Nathalie Saumaize that’s well worth seeking out.” 92/100pts Wine Advocate
