“Taut yet full-bodied, the Pouilly-Fuissé stands out for its refined elegance on the palate and expertly managed aging.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). A fresh and elegant white wine with a delicate aroma, balanced on the palate with creamy and very subtly buttery notes. A truly charming bottle!

Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The ambitious and well-planned renovation of the vineyard and winery initiated by Jean-Jacques Parinet is now yielding the expected results. Progress has been remarkable, and the estate continues to lead the appellation. He is supported by a talented team, including Édouard Parinet, their cellar master Brice Lafon, and their communications manager Morgane Chambriard. A key player for the appellation and the region, he is a formidable ambassador who builds value and enhances the region’s image both in France and around the world.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Both taut and full-bodied, Pouilly-Fuissé stands out for its elegant palate and expertly managed aging.
About the estate:
Since its acquisition by the Parinet family in 2009, this vast estate has invested significant resources in revitalizing the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, much like Château des Jacques did in its day. In a modern Gamay style, with long, carefully managed aging in oak, the numerous single-vineyard cuvées express the complexity and diversity of the soils. In 2016, the estate’s first white wine vineyards (4.5 hectares) in the Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations were introduced under the name Roc des Boutires.
