Description
In a nutshell:
This Pouilly-Fuissé delivers classic Chardonnay elegance with its fresh pear and honeysuckle notes, balanced by a fine mineral thread.
The lowdown:
This has all the sunshine of its Mâconnais home. Think ripe pear and apricots warmed by a touch of honey, mingled with a hint of stony minerality. It's undeniably rich, yet a bright acidity keeps it poised and elegant. This balance comes from the cool slopes of Pouilly-Fuissé, one of Burgundy's finest appellations. The winemakers know their land, nurturing the Chardonnay grapes with care. A slow fermentation preserves those delicate fruit flavours, while a touch of oak ageing adds a subtle creaminess. This isn't a timid white; it has presence and finesse. Sip it slowly and imagine limestone cliffs, a scatter of wildflowers, and the promise of a warm summer's day.
The Producer:
Bouchard Père et Fils is a name with serious history, dating back to 1731. Over the years, they've carefully built up a remarkable collection of Burgundy's best vineyard sites, including renowned names like Beaune Grèves and Volnay Les Caillerets - names that define what makes Burgundy special. Though rich in tradition, they've kept moving forward, now standing as one of the Côte dOr's largest landowners. Their wines reflect the region's balance of earthiness and finesse, each bringing something distinct to the table.
When to drink:
A chilled Burgundian white to partner a simple seafood supper or a creamy chicken and mushroom pie.
