Traditionally, this wine (previously called Pouilly-Fuissé C.C) has been a blend of fruit from two 40- to 50-year-old parcels on the steep, chalky western slope of the Roche de Vergisson in the La Côte and En Carmentrant vineyards (hence the ‘C.C’ tag). Recent years have seen the addition of a third parcel, Les Crays, so there are now three “c’s”, hence Les Trois C. To break it down, La Côte, which sits directly below the majestic rock, faces north-east and offers a cool, mineral line. The south-facing vines in En Carmentrant add to the fleshy texture, while Les Crays is a beautifully located vineyard (mid-slope on the steep ‘belly’ of la Roche de Vergisson) with cool, rocky soils that bring a beautiful mineral lift and structural austerity to this blend. A classic, old vine Guffens wine with a concentrated richness balanced by vibrant acidity and chalky mineral drive. Superb.

Reviews

“One of the richer, broader wines in the range this year is the 2024 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Trois C., a medium- to full-bodied, satiny and ample wine redolent of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers and frangipane. It's a blend of La Côte, Carmentrans and Les Crays.”
90-92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“...an assemblage of grapes from three lieux-dits: La Côte, En Carmentrant and Les Crays. The result is sublime, with pronounced aromas of Mirabelle plum, ripe pear, acacia flower, an edge of smoky reduction and a hint of spice. The texture is lush and dense, but not heavy, with enough acidity to balance everything.”
