Pouilly-Fuissé, 2023

Concentrated, mineral Chardonnay that still feels light on its feet, from the southern end of Burgundy.

Pouilly-Fuissé is the Mâconnais's best-known name, at the southern tip of Burgundy, and this is Simon Faure's take on it: all Chardonnay, at a modest 12% alcohol. It is dry and fuller-bodied, concentrated but kept fresh by good acidity, with yellow apple, citrus, yellow melon and a touch of spice. There is a mineral edge on the nose and a long finish.
