About the Wine

The Pouilly-Fuissé cuvée Clos Varambon is made from all the vines within our Clos which were planted after 1945: this includes various plots with different age and rootstock, adding up to a total surface of 4,5 hectares which include only one hectare of "young" vines aged less than 20 years.

The vinification is made in recent 30-hectoliter oak vats, in 400-liter and 228-liter barrels without new oak. This cuvée is bottled after 12 to 18 months maturing, usually with a light filtration consisting only in a smooth Kieselguhr method. We generally prefer not to fine our wines, as their maturing on lees allows to reach a sufficient stability and because we believe that this process can diminish their aromatic potential.

The Clos Varambon is a wine conceived to be appreciated from its early age: this is why we vinify it mainly in large volume containers and without new oak, in order have all the advantages of oak while keeping a more immediate and direct expression of the fruit.



Review

"The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Clos Varambon continues to show well, offering up aromas of pear, ripe citrus fruits, white flowers, hazelnuts and bread dough, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine with a satiny attack and fresh, lively palate. Yields were relatively low this year due to shatter, and alcohol levels are a touch below those registered in 2019... Drink date 2023-2040."

- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate  (William Kelley, Oct. 2023): 92 Points
