Jessica Litaud 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Sur La Roche

Notes from the importer, Andrew Guard.
This small 5 hectare estate in the Mâconnais is going to make some waves; Jessica made her first vintage in 2019 but her family are established vignerons in the famous part of Pouilly-Fuissé, Vergisson. Jessica is, like all the producers we work with, fastidious about all the details and the grapes are harvested by hand and into 7 kg boxes and the bunches are refrigerated for at least 12 hours in a cold room before pressing. After being chilled to 4 degrees, the grapes are very slowly pressed before fermentation in barrel and elevage of about 10 months. Finesse and elegance the result. Having worked with Jean-François Ganevat together with the experience that her family brings, this is a star to watch very closely!
