Jessica Litaud Pouilly Fuisse Patchwork 2021 AOC 0.75l

Jessica Litaud Pouilly-Fuissé Patchwork 2021 AOC 0.75l is a white wine that expresses Burgundy through a blend of select terroirs in the Pouilly-Fuissé region, where sunny exposures and calcareous-clay soils impart a restrained yet intense refinement to the palate. The opening reveals a golden sheen and a progression of aromas ranging from ripe white fruit to peach, with citrus notes and an elegant minerality reminiscent of wet stone, complemented by hints of toasted almond and light butter. The use of fine lees lees lends a creamy texture that envelops the palate without weighing it down, complemented by a fresh kick and a clean finish. Jessica Litaud's production philosophy is rooted in the family tradition of Burgundy: carefully cultivated vines, harvests aimed at achieving balanced ripeness, minimalist winemaking that enhances the raw material, and controlled aging in containers that preserve the purity of the fruit. The winery is a small gem of craftsmanship, where sustainability and respect for the terroir guide concrete choices: practices that respect the vineyard's biology, sparing use of sulfites, and the avoidance of manipulations that alter the wine's soul. Patchwork 2021 occupies a significant place in the range: it's not just a style label, but a touch of terroir that lends itself to a variety of pairings, from seafood to creamy soups, always offering a refreshing edge that supports complexity without overpowering it. In the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation and geographical area, this bottle represents a benchmark for those seeking unfussy authenticity, with a modest yet promising aging potential, destined to evolve in the glass over the years. Ultimately, the STELT positioning is clearly expressed: restrained elegance, understated depth, and a discreet presence that invites you to savor time without concealing the expert hand behind the product.
