Chateau des Quarts - Pouilly-Fuisse Clos Quarts 2020

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Château des Quarts was created in 2012 through a joint partnership between two old friends, Dominique Lafon and Olivier Merlin. The vineyard located in Chaintré, the southernmost village of Pouilly-Fuissé is at just over 2 hectares, the oldest vines are almost a century old and are planted on clay-limestone soils. A further 40 ares can and will be planted.

For over a decade, Olivier had tasked himself with sourcing and making wine from the best sites within Pouilly-Fuissé and bottling them under his own label. 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.

“he 2020 Château des Quarts, which Merlin reminded me, he bought the fruit from between 2003 and 2011 before buying the property with Dominique Lafon, has a refined bouquet, fine mineralité with hints of white flower and wild mint. The palate is very focused with impressive density, fine acidity and a limestone-driven finish (though Merlin points out that here the limestone is less active than in other areas.) The saline finish lingers wonderfully.” - Neal Martin
