Pouilly-Fuissé, Cuvée 1551 is a vibrant, creamy and sophisticated wine made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from the medieval castle Château Pouilly in southern Bourgogne in France. The wine has a bright golden colour and an aromatic bouquet of honeysuckle, yellow apples, vanilla and mineral notes of wet stones. The wine is round and concentrated, with a fresh, vibrant acidity which balances the creamy mouthfeel and makes the wine appear elegant and refreshing. The palate presents flavours of acacia honey, candied lemon, pineapple and butter, and the finish is long and elegant. Serve the wine slightly chilled at 9-12 ° C with fatty fish for instance salmon and savoury seafood dishes with lots of cream and butter. 
 
About a third of the wine ferments and matures in small, French oak barrels for 12 months, where the wine rests on the yeast deposit, called lees. The barrels are a mix of new and old barrels where 20 % of the oak barrels are new. The maturation in oak barrels brings delicate oak flavours of for instance vanilla, toast and nuts. Château Pouilly only make two wines, Cuvée 1551 and La Réserve Climat Pouilly where Cuvée 1551 is a little lighter and fresher compared with La Réserve Climat Pouilly, which is more rounded and concentrated and has more pronounced oak flavours.
