The nose shows some overripe fruit, yet remains appealing with ripe citrus, red apple, and yogurt aromas. On the palate, it's round and creamy, with lemongrass, honey, chamomile, and creamy vanilla. A textbook expression, though slightly oak-forward, it's balanced by refreshing acidity, making it an enjoyable wine.
Winemaker Note
Bursting with aromas of ripe stone fruit, citrus oil, pear and honeycomb, Les Ménestrières is full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with an ample and enveloping core of fruit, succulent acids and a nicely defined finish.
The Curveux estate has been handed down from father to son since 1931. Located in Southern Burgundy, in the Pouilly Fuissé and Mâcon Fuissé appellations, the vineyard of 8 hectares is now run by the 4th generation of winegrowers, represented by Guillaume. Since 2020, the estate has been able to claim the 1er Cru upgrade on all its Pouilly-Fuissé plots.
