Domaine Guerrin & Fils, "La Marechaude" Pouilly-Fuisse Premier Cru, 2023
Elegant and Vivacious Pouilly-Fuisse Premier Cru
Hailing from the Pouilly-Fuissé premier cru vineyard La Maréchaude, this mellow yet flamboyant 100% Chardonnay is a true expression of its distinguished terroir. The nose unveils a sophisticated medley of ripe stone fruit, touched with nuances of blooming white flowers and toasty hazelnuts. On the palate, it is a symphony of balance and subtlety, combining a graceful minerality with a refined structure.
- 100% Chardonnay
- Slow fermentation in French oak barrels (with 20% new)
- Fermentation with native yeasts
STORY BEHIND THE WINE
The Guerrin’s estate dates from 1926 and can be found at the heart of the protected natural site between the Roche de Solutré and the Roche de Vergisson in southern Burgundy, just to the west of Mâcon. Today the fourth generation works a patchwork of 35 small vineyards spread over 15 hectares and various soil types. Respecting nature and farming sustainably with 90% of work done manually and fermenting with native yeasts are key to highlighting their excellent terroir. The ‘La Marechaude’ is arguably the most indulgent of the Pouilly-Fuisses produced by the Guerrin estate.
The wine undergoes a slow fermentation in French oak barrels, with 20% new, followed by lees-ageing complemented by regular batonnage.
