Domaine du Roc des Boutires - Aux Bouthières 2018
93/100
Robert Parker
"The 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières is also impressive, offering a complex bouquet of pear, Meyer lemon, fresh bread, nutmeg, and apricot. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, elegantly textured, and incisive, it is brilliant and well-balanced, with a subtle depth at its core and a penetrating, delicately salty finish. It will benefit from a few years in the cellar.” (Wine Advocate 2020 - William Kelley) A great white! Please note: limited quantities available.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
The Parinet family, owners of Château du Moulin-à-Vent, acquired this 4.2-hectare estate in the village of Pouilly in 2016. Management—from the vineyards to winemaking—has been entrusted to Brice Laffond, who is already in charge of their property in Beaujolais. Their vineyard consists mainly of old vines, cultivated using organic methods without certification. The first vintages suggest that this is one of the leading estates of the future, the emergence of a new and serious competitor in the Mâconnais. The 2017s appeared in the previous edition of our guide alongside the wines of Château du Moulin-à-Vent. Vers Cras, Chailloux, and Bouthières will quite logically become future Premier Crus of Pouilly-Fuissé. The 2018 vintages continue the qualitative ascent of this young estate, beautifully showcasing their terroirs through well-suited aging processes.
