Tasting notes
Elegant and expressive, opening with aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, jasmine, and a hint of sea spray. On the palate, it is round and silky with vibrant acidity and mineral tension, revealing layers of lemon curd, peach, flint, and a subtle pastry note. The finish is long, fresh, and refined, showcasing both richness and precision - a standout example of Premier Cru Mâconnais Chardonnay.
Expert Ratings
Vinous: 91 points
"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé has a clean and precise bouquet, tightly knit, green apple and hints of lime coming through. The palate is well balanced with a lemony opening. Harmonious, this Pouilly-Fuissé packs the quality more in the mouth than on the nose. Fine purity on the finish. Drink this over the next 5-6 years."
James Suckling: 91 points
"This is a creamy Pouilly-Fuissé showing custard, vanilla pastries, apricots and hazelnuts on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, rounded and supple with a soft finish. Blend of chardonnay from five lieu-dits in the village of Pouilly. Drink now."
