Tasting notes
JS-15 Pouilly-Fume unveils a floral bouquet imbued with acacia and marine nuances. The palate harmonizes ripe tangerine with luscious pastry undertones, and mouthwatering iodine lengths.

Alcoholic fermentation performed in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for 85% of the juice, with the remaining 15% fermenting in Troncais oak barrels. Aged on fine lees for 12 months. After a resting period, bottled in early summer.
