Tasting NotesThis particularly powerful wine comes from selected parcels in one of Fuissé’s best climates. Oak aged for 18 months, it has weight and density commensurate with its alcohol. Rich yellow fruits combine with acidity to give a balanced wine, textured and with aging potential. Drink from late 2020. —R.V.
