RVF
“Both taut and full-bodied, the Pouilly-Fuissé stands out for its refined character on the palate and expertly managed aging.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). A fresh and elegant white wine on the nose, balanced on the palate with creamy and very slightly buttery notes. A bottle full of charm!

Rated estate (2023 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The ambitious and well-coordinated renovation of the vineyard and winery spearheaded by Jean-Jacques Parinet is now yielding the expected results. Progress has been remarkable, and the estate continues to lead the appellation. He can rely on 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 Winery (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these wineries)
About the wine:
Both taut and full-bodied, Pouilly-Fuissé stands out for its elegant character on the palate and its expertly managed aging.
About the estate:
Since its acquisition by the Parinet family in 2009, this vast estate has invested significant human resources to revitalize the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, much as Château des Jacques did in its day. In a modern Gamay style, with long, carefully managed aging in oak, the estate’s numerous single-vineyard wines express the complexity and diversity of the soils. The 2016 vintage marked the debut of the estate’s first white vineyards (4.5 hectares) in the Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations under the name Roc des Boutires.
