Pouilly-Fuissé, “Aux Combes”

Pouilly-Fuissé “Aux Combes” formerly constituted half of the “Trois Terroirs” cuveé, which is no longer in production beginning with the 2020 vintage. The vineyard borders “Vers Cras” (newly upgraded to Premier Cru) in the commune of Solutré-Pouilly—with an exposition that consistently fares very well in today’s warm summers. Nicolas employed a single 40-hectoliter foudre (2013 origin) in the raising of this 2020 “Aux Combes,” and the wine shows all the clarity and mineral precision we’ve come to expect and cherish in this domaine’s wines.
