Les Gentilhommes Pouilly Fuisse Premier Cru Clos Reyssier
Maurice Martin
France - Burgundy - Pouilly Fuisse Premier Cru

A gentilhomme is a gentleman characterized by his delicacy, thoughtfulness, and courtesy. "Les Gentilhommes" was created by brothers Richard and Stephane Martin as brand embodying the gentleman's character combined with Burgundian know-how.
From the work in the vineyard to the vinification in barrel, they are inspired to share these noble values. Quality, authenticity and long family tradition are the foundation of these wines.

Yellow bright limpid color.
The nose is complex and pleasant, with white fruits aromas such as pear, orgeat syrup, praline and liquorice, surrounded with butter and brioche notes, thanks to the ageing in oak barrels.
In the palate this wine has freshness and is powerful, it is precise, supple, with a subtle viscosity.
The fruity and toasted aromas make it gorgeous, with a delicate minerality lingering on the palate.
