A powerful, aromatic nose of candied orange, vanilla and spices. The palate is luscious, complex, and opulent, with substance and balance thanks to its beautiful acidity, and lovely length.
Paul Fouassier
Paul Fouassier, who earned his viticulture and oenology degree in 1998, worked in several leading Bordeaux châteaux (Pavie and Angelus among others) before returning to his large family estate in 2001. The estate holds 60 hectares, 50 ha of Sauvignon and 10 ha of Pinot, which he manages with his cousin Benoît. The duo represents the 10th generation, drawing the best from the rigour of Benoît and the go-getter, slightly nutty side of Paul. An internship with Pierre Morey in Meursault, finally convinced Paul to switch to organic viticulture. They’d convert the estate over to organics in 2006 and would be certified biodynamic in 2011. The two 40 year olds are progressively dynamising the health of their soils, and minimising the level of sulphur in their cuvées... The production is vast, but with good intentions, they’ve headed themselves in the right direction. With a range of wines rapidly building critical acclaim in the press, Fouassier more than deserves a place in every cellar.

A few words from the winemaker: “A lively nose, with notes of Granny Smith apple, lemon pulp, and hints of anise. The attack is crisp, round and fresh palate. A slight effervescence adds to the tension and mouthwatering grip. Favorful, with just the right touch of astringency and precision.”
A nose with notes of red fruit, full of passion... Palate: full-bodied and crisp, supple and fruity, a pinot to enjoy around one little table, with two slices of saucisson, and three friends!
