Chateau de Vitallis Pouilly-Fuisse Vignes du Chateau Blanc 2021
Chateau de Vitallis Pouilly-Fuisse Vignes du Chateau Blanc 2021
Château Vitallis only made a tiny amount of wine in 2021, but they are ones lovers of white Burgundy should have. The Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Vignes du Château’ 2021 is a blend of grapes from Château Vitallis’ historic 13th-century plots. The vines, with an average age of 35 years, are planted on clay-limestone Jurassic soils, and bring richness to their wines. In line with owners Denis and Maxime Dutron’s winemaking philosophy, great care and attention are lavished on the vineyards using organic methods. In the winery, on the other hand, intervention is kept low. Wines are made in stainless steel (70%) and oak barrels (30%) to protect and enhance the wine's taste of place and natural freshness. The resulting wines are concentrated, impeccably balanced and yet remain affordable. For now, at least.

Taste
2021 was one of the most challenging Burgundy vintages in over half a century, with spring frosts dramatically reducing yields. The grapes that survived Nature and Château Vitallis’s sorting table produced a tiny crop of lovely wines. The Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Vignes du Château’ is bright, pale gold with a complex nose of hawthorn, acacia blossom and citrus fruits. Softened by time, peaches, apricots, and hazelnut paste have joined the vibrant citrus notes to give a harmonious, tangy mouthful.
