TASTING NOTES
Harvested on the best limestone slopes in the appellation blessed with southwestern exposure, this cuvée is a true thoroughbred and the most characteristic of our wines. Les "Cris" is the local term used to describe a parcel of vines planted in caillotes or pebbly limestone soil. Extraordinarily elegant, when young this wine possesses aromas of fruits (pineapple, citrus, peach) and mineral tones. After 1 or 2 years the aromas refine and become more and more marked by the minerality of the terroir. On the palate, Les Cris is powerful, well-structured and very rich. Excellent balance is achieved due to the perfect ripeness of the grapes at harvest. Les Cris Pouilly-Fumé is, at its best, served with fish, especially fish in sauce (goatfish, pickerel, pike, etc.). It's also a fine accompaniment to an assortment of cured meats, and, of course, a natural companion with fine goat cheese. -Winemaker's Notes
