Louis Latour Pouilly-Fuissé (75cl, 13.5%)

A white Burgundy from the Pouilly-Fuissé AOC, made by Maison Louis Latour from 100% Chardonnay. Founded in 1797, the house is one of Burgundy's established négociant-éleveurs. The cuvée is sourced from vines averaging 30 years of age and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with complete malolactic fermentation, then aged 8–10 months in stainless steel, deliberately avoiding new oak. The nose is elegant and floral, with acacia blossom, honeysuckle, fresh almond, faint honey, white flowers and ripe melon. On the palate there are yellow fruits, ripe peach, quince and baked apple, with zesty lemon peel and grapefruit brightness, a textural mouthfeel and lively, well-integrated acidity. The finish is medium in length, with lemon pith, wet river stones and a gentle herbal quality.
