Louis Latour Pouilly Fuisse 2023
KShs6,770 incl. of VAT
Louis Latour Pouilly-Fuissé 2023 is shaped by understated density and textural poise. Rather than pushing oak or overtly ripe fruit, it lets terroir and fruit focus define the palate. The wine’s fruit presence is direct and clear, with orchard and citrus notes framed by a thread of mineral tension that guides the progression.
There’s a sense of composed layering here: fruit, acidity and mineral thread are aligned, each contributing depth without overshadowing the others. Instead of exuberance, this wine offers controlled richness and linear evolution, making it approachable now but undeniably capable of gentle development in bottle.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with luminous highlights. The nose unfolds with a combination of crisp green apple, white peach and citrus blossom, nuanced by subtle hints of toasted almond and fresh minerality.
On the palate, the wine carries a seamless texture, stone fruit richness and citrus tension interplay with mineral inflection. Acidity is lively yet measured, lending shape and dimension without dominating the fruit core. The finish is persistent and dry, leaving a cool saline note that keeps the experience composed rather than heavy.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs exceptionally well with dishes that balance richness with acidity. Try it with butter-seared scallops, grilled fish with citrus salsa, mushroom risotto or roast chicken with herbs. Its structure also complements soft cheeses and refined vegetarian plates, where texture and freshness enhance the meal.
Description
Pouilly-Fuissé is one of Burgundy’s most expressive white wine appellations, known for delivering Chardonnay with depth and posture without the overt oak weight of more northern villages. Louis Latour’s rendition of the 2023 vintage showcases clarity of fruit alongside structural nuance. A wine that moves with calculated precision rather than broad, unrestrained richness.
This is a Chardonnay that rewards attention without intimidation: it feels refined, focused and purposeful from start to finish.
