Note di degustazione
Aromas of Meyer lemon, orange blossom, delicately musky peach, honeycomb and wheat toast introduce the 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Le Clos, a full-bodied, multidimensional wine with terrific depth and concentration at the core, balanced by succulent acids and concluding with a long, perfumed finish. It's similar in scale to the Brûlées, but it's simultaneously more intense and more controlled; it's also the most elegant of the Château Fuissé's wines.

Bottled. Rich and ripe-fruited citrus aroma, almost a hint of tropical fruit. Lovely depth and intensity, the sour-citrus finish lifting the richness and balancing the whole. Great length. (JH)
(the monopole Le Clos surrounds the Chateau and winery; along with Les Brûlés and Les Perrières, but not the northeast-facing Les Combettes, it's slated to become a premier cru; aged entirely in oak barrels, 80% new): Bright yellow. Sappy aromas of peach, orange zest and spicy, vanillin oak. Densely packed, suave and fine-grained, offering very ripe, concentrated flavors of stone fruits, minerals and almond butter, plus a whiff of flowers. Best today on the complex, long finish, which displays building salinity. This vineyard features clay at the bottom, marl higher up, then limestone at the top, according to Vincent. The yield in 2016 was just 25 hectoliters per hectare.
