Pouilly-Fuissé La Chaneau

From a different single-vineyard plot fractionally larger at 0.27 hectares, this cru is much more steeply-sloped and the calcareous clay soil is rich in iron. The precision and intensity of this terroir is readily apparent in its high-toned tension. The higher portion of red clay and iron gives to this wine a depth and intensity that would challenge some Côte de Beaune. Usually fares better in hot vintage thanks to its water reserve brought by its clay soil.
