2022 Macon Solutre Pouilly Domaine Vaupre Glenfarclas

2022 Macon Solutre Pouilly Domaine Vaupre GlenfarclasTraditionally planted at 8,000 vines per hectare, the vines have a respectable average age of 50 years. This is the pure expression of Chardonnay, pale gold with green tints. Fruity and floral, mineral touch with white flowers, and a good length in the mouth. Growing their grapes on slopes overlooking Solutre, one of the finest of all the Pouilly Fuisse villages, use oak carefully, not to create oaky flavours but to allow an exchange between oxygen
