Chardonnay
Situation
'Autour de la Roche', formerly known as 'Sous Vergisson' is a blend of grapes grown in the best terroirs located around the Vergisson outcrop.
Age of the vines
A lot of old vineyards, including the Vigne des Verchères which was planted in 1959. The average age of the vines that go into cuvee is around 40 years old.
Soil
As is typical in Fuissé, the geology is diverse, with some stony soils but, in the main, soils derived from Triassic sandstones and clay, as well as shallower soils based on hard limestones with marine fossils.
Vinification
This vintage was entirely vinified in stained steel. Bottled in July 2024.
Tasting
With a delicate nose of white fruits and a tender but lively mouth, it is the right reflection of the freshness of Vergisson terroir.
Food pairing
Scallop carpaccio, veal tartare, roast chicken, semi-mature goat's cheeses and creamy cow's cheeses.
