Pouilly-Fuissé Blanc ''Clos Varambon'' 2020 | Wine of the Château des Rontets

White wine Pouilly-Fuissé ''Clos Varambon'' 2020 Château des Rontets

The Château des Rontets has a long history behind it. Created at the beginning of the 19th century by Abbé Glaneur, it was bought by the Varambon family in 1850 and is now in the hands of Claire (4th generation) and her husband Fabio Montrasi. Rated 5* by the Bettane&Desseauve guide and ranked by la revue du vin de france among the areas with high potential, it is considered by many to be one of the best areas in Pouilly-Fuissé. Since 2005, the estate has been certified organic, with ploughing of the soil and harvesting by hand in small boxes to limit the damage of the grapes.

This 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé ''Clos Varambon'' from Domaine du Château des Rontets is produced with all the vines of the Clos planted after 1945. It consists of several plots of different ages and rootstocks, for a total surface area of 4.6 hectares, of which only one hectare is young vines less than 20 years old.
Clos Varambon is a wine designed to be enjoyed from its youth, and for this reason it is vinified mainly in large volumes and without new barrels in order to take advantage of the advantages of the wood while seeking a more immediate and direct expression of the fruit. On the 2020 vintage, very sunny, the Chardonnay with its golden colour, notes of apricot, citrus, and pepper adds a touch of minerality on the finish that brings a lot of freshness.
