Medium lemon color with developing aromas of apple, toast, butter, vanilla, lemon, blossom and nectarine. Dry, medium alcohol, medium (+) acidity, medium body. Pronounced flavors of toast, apple, pear, peach, and vanilla. Long finish. Very good quality. Drink now, but has potential for further aging.

A 15th Century tower flanks Chateau Fuisse, a family home whose history is evidenced by a number of 300 year old artifacts and adornment. From a blend of over 20 vineyards, and about 70% sat on oak for 20 months (25% new), the remaining 30% in stainless steel tanks. Aromas of stone fruits with cedar and floral spice notes. On the palate apple and pear flavors with a citrus oak character. Lingering finish, well balanced but a little forward now, ending fresh and crisp with oaky edge. Needs more time to calm.

Very well made Fuisse. No signs of age at all. Texturally appealing with youth still on its side.
