The wine region of Pouilly-Fuissé
Emblematic great white of the Mâconnais (southern Burgundy): signature Chardonnay reigns exclusively in whites — pale to green-gold with emerald glints, round and fleshy with citrus (lemon, grapefruit, pineapple), peach, almond, hazelnut, breadcrumb, brioche, honey and a flinty mineral touch, a richness-freshness balance without excess nervousness. AOC (1936), 758 ha across 4 villages (Vergisson, Solutré, Fuissé, Chaintré) below the eponymous rocks, clays and limestones.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
