Subject: We Are in White Wine Heaven this 2017!

Château des Quarts was created in 2012 through a joint partnership between two old friends: Dominique Lafon and Olivier Merlin.

For over a decade, Olivier had tasked himself with sourcing and making wine from the best sites within Pouilly-Fuissé. After buying grapes from Clos des Quarts for several vintages, he was one of the first approached with the news that it was for sale. Having been already convinced of the terroir's integrity he jumped on the opportunity.

The vineyard, is located in Chaintré, the southernmost village of Pouilly-Fuissé. At just over 2 hectares, the oldest vines are almost a century old and are planted on an ideal slop of clay-limestone soil.

93 Points Stephen Tanzer
"Bright, light yellow. Very refined, complex scents of white peach, pear drop, white flowers and stone. At once dense and weightless, conveying outstanding clarity and purity to its citrus and mineral flavors. Hints of spices and mint contribute to the wine's light touch. Like drinking water in the Alps. Lemon-limey acidity and an element of salinity give the finish lift and grip. This dusty, extract-rich wine stains the palate without leaving any impression of weight. Offers a really remarkable combination of density and delicacy. One-third of these vines were planted in 1917 and the rest are over 70 years of age."


92 Points Wine Advocate "The 2014 Pouilly-Fuissé Clos des Quarts has a refined nose, coiled up tightly at the moment, unfolding with lime flower, beeswax and honeysuckle aromas that are sure to bloom with bottle age. The palate is well balanced, precise and lightly spiced. This is a complex 2014 Mâconnais, quite minerally towards the finish with hazelnut and white pepper enlivening and prolonging the aftertaste. It delivers upon the one's high expectations given the names behind this label." — Neal Martin
