Château des Quarts - Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru 'L'Orangerie du Château' 2023

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

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.

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 clay-limestone soils.

Premier Cru 'L'Orangerie du Château' is produced with the younger vines of the estate, planted in 2015 (2020 was the first vintage). Aging for 12 months in barrels, blended and aged for an additional 6 months in stainless steel tank, no fining, light filtration.
