This is the softest of the three single vineyard wines from Château de Fuissé. It has a warm, rich character, generous and full in the mouth. Yellow fruits are partnered with citrus acidity and an at…

From the Ferrington and Monument Tree Vineyards, the latter now owned by Twomey, this delicate Pinot has an aura of baked bread on the nose followed by just-ripe Bing cherry. With firm tannins and a…
