Description
Aromas of white flesh fruits and white flower (honeysuckle, acacia) sharpened by a great white stone minerality. This Pouilly Fuisse expresses itself in a long direct line, more than with a powerfull wideness. So lively! This magnificent stony location on the Roche de Vergisson plateau calls for early harvesting to preserve all its high standards. A wine with great mineral density, expressive and delicate. Goes well with: Lobster, Pasta with shellfish & Chestnut and mushroom dishes. ABOUT DOMAINE RIJCKAERT The Domain Rijckaert was created in 1998 by Jean Rijckaert, a passionate Belgian established as a wine producer in Burgundy since 1990. Nowadays, in addition to 4 ha in South Burgundy, the Domaine RIJCKAERT cultivates 5,5 ha of vineyards in the Jura where Jean felt in love of outstanding terroirs. Thus, there are two cellars: one at Davayé (South Burgundy, near Mâcon), one at Les Planches, near Arbois in the Jura. The Maison RIJCKAERT also purchases fine grapes from all Burgundy vineyards, vinificated with the same precision and the same savoir-faire as its own vineyards. In 2013, Jean decided to gradually pass the torch of his passion on to Florent Rouve and also pass down the “savoir-faire” that have made the reputation of his wines: restricted yields, manual harvesting, slow and moderate pressings, indigenous floras, long wine aging and, ...some precious secrets! A careful and natural winemaking, which aims to express the typicality of the grape and the specificity of the terroir where it comes from.
