You enjoyed 2018, you'll love 2019. La Frérie never ceases to amaze us. Ample and delicate, its floral register tinged with a light touch of hazelnut in its youth, will evolve towards aromas of undergrowth, truffle, enhanced by honeyed notes as it ages. A lovely Pouilly-Fuissé in the image of its terroir!

About the domain :
In 1946, Francis Auvigue joined forces with three other producer friends to create a small trading house specializing in Pouilly-Fuissé. Francis's grandsons Jean-Pierre and Michel took over in the 1970-75s, developing the other appellations of the Mâconnais. In 2017, the company took over a 7-hectare vineyard and moved into the old church in Fuissé, which had been converted into a wine-making and tasting and sales facility. Today, Sylvain Brenas, Francis' great-grandson, and Céline Hirsh are at the helm.
