Marcel Couturier Pouilly-Fuissé Clos Scellés 2023 MalbecWhile most of the estate's wines are bottled after 11 months ageing on fine lees, this is bottled after 15 months due to its intensity and strength of character. This Pouilly Fuiss is a blend of two vineyards: Pouilly Fuiss Clos Reyssi has vines more than 80 years old in Chaintre on silty, clay and limestone dominated soils; and Pouilly Fuiss Les Scells comes from vines more than 50 years old in Fuiss, planted on the hillside on schistous clay soils
