Premier Cru appellation created in 2020, with new specifications. 194 ha premier cru over 800 ha of Pouilly-Fuissé. 22 classified climates. "Sur la Roche" is one of the plots which has been partly classified as Premier Cru, in the town of Vergisson. This climate is characterised by its altitude at 375m and its slope at 15%. Vines are 81 years old.
Maturation: aged for 13 months with no racking or stirring to bring out all of this wine's minerality. A proportion of 40% new French oak barrels.
With its beautiful pale yellow colour, this very charming wine develops intense aromas of white fruit and flowers enhanced by notes of exotic fruit. On the palate, the structure is chiselled with brioche and smoky flavours. Domaine notes.
