Jules Desjourneys, Pouilly-Fuisse, Les Vignes Blanches 2020

Jules Desjourneys, a rising star in Burgundian winemaking, has made a name for producing wines that impeccably express the unique character of their origin. The Les Vignes Blanches is a shining example of their dedication to producing wines of profound depth, finesse, and elegance.

The Pouilly-Fuissé Les Vignes Blanches is meticulously crafted from Chardonnay grapes, the noble variety of Burgundy, sourced exclusively from the Les Vignes Blanches vineyard within the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. The grapes are harvested by hand with precision to ensure optimal quality and then undergo a vinification process that captures the nuances of the terroir with meticulous care.

Following fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, allowing it to evolve gracefully while preserving the purity, texture, and elegance of Chardonnay. The aging period, typically extending for around 12 to 18 months, contributes to the wine’s complexity and structure.
Its nose is brimming with aromas of white flowers, green apples, and a subtle hint of hazelnut. On the palate, it unfolds with grace and sophistication, offering a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and a velvety, refined texture. Flavours of ripe pear, lemon zest, and a delicate minerality dance elegantly, leading to a long and memorable finish.
