Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy

Maison Louis Jadot produces a Pouilly Fuisse with emerald gold tones which reflect a wine of finesse and distinction; the tasting is harmonious, fresh, full of flavors with hazelnuts, toasted almonds, grapefruit, and lemon aromas. 

It must be served rather cool and goes very well with shellfish, fish, white meat in cream sauce, and poultry.
