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 one of those names that echoes with history. Founded way back in 1731, they've witnessed centuries of Burgundy's evolution. Through savvy acquisitions during the French Revolution and beyond, they built up an enviable collection of prime vineyard sites. Think famous names like Beaune Grèves and Volnay Les Caillerets the sort of hallowed ground that sets Burgundy lovers' hearts aflutter. While steeped in tradition, they don't rest on their laurels. They're one of the Côte d'Or's largest landowners, proving that size and quality can coexist. Their wines showcase that classic Burgundian tension between earthiness and elegance, with each village expressing its unique personality. This is a producer to explore if you want a taste of Burgundy's heritage with a focus on vineyard expression.
When to drink:
A chilled Burgundian white to partner a simple seafood supper or a creamy chicken and mushroom pie.
