Highlights
Chateau Des Rontets Les Birbettes Pouilly Fuisse 2022
Les Birbettes comes from the estate’s oldest plots—all older than 60, with two planted in the 1920s. These ancient vines yield tiny, concentrated berries that make for a wine of incredible purity, enticing salinity, and brilliant minerality. Old vines bring “experience” of dealing with climate change within a production year. They have the capacity to adapt and balance the ripeness. The wine produced with small-sized berries expresses more purity and verticality. Additionally, the salinity shows off the minerality of terroir.
