“A great vintage that echoes the Favorite the 2016 vintage. A Pouilly-Fuissé universally appreciated for its powerful bouquet of white fruits (peach and pear), spices, and citrus, as well as for its equally intense and complex palate, remarkable for its generosity, body, balance, depth, and length. A wine with a very assertive character and impressive depth, celebrating the château’s first harvest nearly five centuries ago!” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

About the estate:

Perched on Mont Pouilly, just outside the hamlet, this château has stood proudly since 1551 amidst its 7 hectares of vineyards. At the helm since 1981, Mme Canal du Comet aims to restore the prestige of this estate, which played a leading role in the World’s Fairs between 1862 and 1912. Traditions are upheld here, from vine to bottle (12-month vinification, blending before bottling, and extended aging in bottles).

Review by Mr. PHILIP J. Posted on June 17, 2025

Having previously purchased the 2016 vintage, and taking into account the reviews (2 stars and a "favorite" designation) from the 2022 Hachette Guide, I bought another 6 bottles of the 2019. The 2016 had made a good impression (though it remained relatively light and restrained for a Pouilly-Fuissé). The 2019 confirmed this impression and pushed it to a level below expectations (especially given the Hachette reviews). It’s a nice, well-balanced Chardonnay with ripe fruit and decent acidity, but overall I found this wine unimpressive and quite disappointing for the price. Did the Hachette Guide jury really taste the same wine?? I have my doubts...
