Product Overview
Importer's Notes
"Marie Pierre owns 8 ha in Pouilly Fuisse. “Courtelong” is a blend of several sites, an assembly of her best and oldest vines. The majority of the wine comes from Les Crays. The wine is fermented and aged in 85% stainless steel and 15% in 1 year old French barriques. The nose of this wine is more restrained than the other bottlings, with subtle notes of green apple, lemon peel, pineapple and shaved celery root. On the palate the wine shows superb concentration but is restrained, with the minerality and acidity holding it in check."
