2021, Pouilly-Fuissé, Climat

“Climat” is the Denogent family’s answer to the frost-stricken 2021 vintage, where yields were so low that several parcels had to be blended into a single cuvée. The wine therefore carries the imprint of the year itself: tiny quantities, concentrated fruit, and an especially careful élevage. As always, Denogent works with spontaneous fermentation and long, gentle ageing in used barriques, resulting in a precise, unmanipulated Chardonnay — true to both its terroir and a challenging vintage.
