An extremely impressive Pouilly-Fuisse that offers a medley of rich orchard fruits flavors and well-integrated oak. Underlying minerality, a trademark of the appellation, provides this powerhouse with a wonderful balance. Hard to believe that this isn't Cote d'Or.
Chateau des Rontets Description
Chateau des Rontets has been owned by the Gazeau-Varambon family since 1850 and is located on top of a hill overlooking the village of Fuisse. All the vines, except for one plot (Pierrefolle), surround the house in a clos. The terroir at Rontets is comprised of a mixture of clay and limestone with fairly pebbly subsoil which favors good drainage. Pierrefolle is 500 meters away from the clos on an opposing hillside where the vines average 35 years old.
