The 2013 Chateau des Quarts, Clos des Quarts Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru is a testament to the potential of this Mâconnais appellation, a joint venture between Burgundy luminaries Dominique Lafon and Olivier Merlin. This white Burgundy is noted for its rich yet balanced profile, offering a stony and creamy texture with excellent length. The vineyard, Clos des Quarts, is a monopole site, historically considered the 'best share reserved for the lord,' with very old vines, some dating back to 1917. The winemaking involves alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, followed by 18 months of aging. 【A spectacular Pouilly-Fuissé showing the heights that the appellation can achieve.】 Tasting notes often highlight a harmonious nose of stone fruit like white peach, with discreet oak influence. On the palate, it reveals iodized notes, great amplitude, and elegance. Other descriptions include ripe Bosc pear, baked yellow apple, star fruit, salted caramel, butterscotch, and buttercream. It has good aging potential of 8 to 10 years. Food pairing suggestions include roast chicken with tarragon, grilled trout, scallops, or a wedge of aged Comté cheese. Its richness and balance make it suitable for gastronomic dinners or intimate tastings. This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special celebration, or as a thoughtful gift for a white Burgundy enthusiast. It's an excellent choice for those who appreciate finely etched Chardonnay with a mineral finish.
