Pouilly-Fuissé, Château de Fuissé, Vieilles Vignes--Vintage 1983
Domaine-bottled: Vincent
Vincent's highly regarded Château Fuissé consistently belies its modest appelation. The Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is in a class which shames many grander Côte d'Or wines. A bottle tasted blind recently at lunch with the vendor showed a wine of extraordinary distinction. Star-bright, medium-deep colour. Enormous richness and intensity of fruit and oak on nose; hint of botrytis, great class on the palate. Rich, ripe fruit, marked degree of alcohol, but perfectly balanced thanks to firm acidity. Discreet oak. Rich, sweet finish of infinite length
1 dozen bottles per dozen
