Grape: 100% Chardonnay.
Tasting notes: The terroir, with its special clay soil, gives this wine energy and aromatic richness, with fruity, ripe apricot notes that are very ‘salivating’. Impressive length and concentration.
Expert Ratings: 92/100 Vinous
"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Chailloux 1er Cru is an outstanding wine. There is immense precision on the nose that is more malic than you would anticipate given the summer's warmth, fleeting touches of Granny Smiths and Conference pear, a touch of crushed limestone. The palate is underpinned by razor-sharp acidity that renders this a live-wire Pouilly-Fuissé. Very edgy, very saline, so much so that it demands food to accompany it. The most athletic of Roc de Boutires' cuvées." -
About the winery: It is in the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation that the Domaine du Roc des Boutires is located. The richness of the estate lies in its parcels: 14 terroirs are spread over the 4.2 hectares of the estate, all located on the Côte de Pouilly. The Chardonnay vines flourish with the greatest respect for the plant life. The soils are worked and all the harvest is done by hand. The vinification is based on the parcel-by-parcel approach chosen by Brice Laffond and the Parinet family.
