Wine:

From the beautiful hillsides of southern Mâcon, around the famous rocks of Vergisson and Solutré, the 2018 White Pouilly-Fuissé is generous, with notes of almond, ripe white fruit and hazelnut. The palate glides along with finesse, straightness and a good volume, taking full advantage of this beautiful and mature vintage, which was certainly one of the most successful ones of the last decade. Pair it with baked fish, or enjoy it as an aperitif with goat cheese. A delight!
