2018 Domaine Robert-Denogent Pouilly-Fuisse "La Croix" Vieilles Vignes

Tasting Notes:
A poised and textured white Burgundy that shimmers with golden orchard fruit, lemon curd, toasted hazelnut, and crushed stone. The palate is both rich and refined creamy yet lifted carrying flavors of pear tart, citrus zest, and a clean, mineral-driven finish that lingers with quiet elegance.

Pairings:
Perfect alongside seared scallops, roast chicken with thyme, creamy mushroom pasta, or a wedge of aged Comté. A versatile white that balances power and finesse.

Production Details:
Sourced from 79-year-old vines rooted in clay-limestone soils in the “La Croix” parcel. Fermented with native yeasts and aged for 12 months in mostly neutral French oak barrels. Bottled without fining or filtration, this cuvée showcases the domaine’s low-intervention, terroir-first philosophy.

Story of the Vintage:
The 2018 vintage offered a cooler, balanced growing season in southern Burgundy, allowing for full flavor development without sacrificing freshness. This wine captures that equilibrium beautifully—old-vine depth meets crisp energy in a bottle built to charm now and evolve gracefully for years.
