"Overlooking the Saône Valley, this wine embodies the very essence of its terroir's excellence—a Burgundian gem waiting to be discovered!"

The Pouilly-Fuissé Château des Quarts Monopoles 1er Cru 2022, aged for 18 months, offers an alluring bouquet with notes of yellow plum, crushed stone, nettle, and verbena. It is highly complex and has evolved significantly since I tasted it in the barrel. The palate is ripe on the attack, with a slight viscosity. It is elegant and balanced, but power builds on the finish. It might deserve a higher score after some bottle aging. 2026–2045” (Vinous 2024)

Rated estate (2025 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the wine:

Bettane & Desseauve Guide 2025 / Best enjoyed between 2024 and 2032

About the estate:

Dominique Lafon and his partner and collaborator Olivier Merlin—both namesakes of their respective estates and two of the region’s most prominent and influential figures—have acquired this exceptional property. This prestigious architectural complex, nestled within a magnificent vineyard, is situated right in the heart of the vineyards; 2.5 hectares with full eastern exposure, on very poor, limestone-rich, and stony soil, which produce an exceptional Mâconnais cuvée, consistently impeccable in quality. It is not to be missed.
