JJ Vincent Pouilly-Fuissé Marie Antoinette 2012

Pale yellow color with hints of green. You get on the nose a touch of oak, lots of finesse and minerality with white flowers, lemon and apple scents. On the mouth, the wine is fresh, round and fruity with aromas of melon, kiwi, peaches and apricot and a nice minerality. Overall, the wine is nicely balanced and fresh with a great length. Cuvée Marie Antoinette is a tribute to Jean Jacques (JJ) Vincent’s mother, Marie-Antoinette Vincent. The wine is sourced from several parcels including young vines from the Château Fuissé vineyards of Le Clos, Les Brûlés and Les Combettes as well as several non-domaine yet family owned parcels throughout the appellation. About the Winery: J.J. Vincent produces a range of wines made with the same care and expertise as those made at the Vincent’s historic domaine, Château Fuissé. Made primarily from grapes sourced from Mâconnais vineyards in the South of Burgundy that are owned by members of Jean-Jacques Vincent’s family, these wines are of extremely high quality and represent remarkable value. Maison J.J. Vincent wines are both lovely and approachable wines for immediate consumption and a great introduction to the Château Fuissé range of acclaimed wines. Critical Acclaim: 2018: 91 points Burghound "There is a touch of petrol to the essence of pear, apple and white flower aromas that exhibit a top note of grapefruit. The racy and tension-filled medium weight flavors possess fine depth on the refreshing and bitter lemon-inflected finish that is attractively dry if ever-so-mildly warm finale." Burghound
