Chateau des Quarts Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru 2022
$160
Chateau des Quarts was created in 2012 through a partnership between two old friends, Dominique Lafon and Olivier Merlin.
For over a decade, Olivier had tasked himself with sourcing and making wine from the best sites within Pouilly-Fuisse and bottling them under his own label. After buying grapes from Clos des Quarts for several vintages, he was one of the first approached with the news that it was for sale. Having already been convinced of the terroir's integrity, he jumped on the opportunity.
The vineyard is located in Chaintre, the southernmost village of Pouilly-Fuisse. At just over 2 hectares, the oldest vines are almost a century old and are planted on clay-limestone soils.
