Château Fuissé Description
One of the three monopole bottlings of Château Fuissé, the vineyard of Les Combettes covers just 4.4 acres within the village of Fuissé. Vines are densely planted in a well drained soil made up primarily of limestone, pebbles and small amounts of clay.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Well-marked by baking spice notes of vanilla, clove, nutmeg and allspice, this white is also tangy, evoking apple and lemon flavors and a saline element. Turns focused and precise on the long finish. Drink now through 2025. 250 cases made, 50 cases imported.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Inscrutable though it was last year, the 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Combettes is showing very well today, bursting with aromas of yellow orchard fruit, almond paste, dried white flowers and wet stones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and tensile, with good structure and concentration.
Burghound: 89-91 Points
(100% oak though none is new). A much more floral-infused nose offers up notes of essence of pear and apple trimmed in just enough wood to comment on. There is good verve to the nicely intense medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by moderately bright and firm citrus-tinged acidity on the lightly stony finish that flashes slightly better depth and persistence.
