Smooth and silky—that’s how this superb Pouilly-Fuissé reveals itself. In an unparalleled classic style, it is a bright, precise white wine with highly expressive fruit. A ripe Chardonnay that combines freshness and minerality with floral and chalky notes. The palate is refined and well-defined, a lovely entry-level wine that is savory and mouth-watering. Ideal as an aperitif. We’re sold...

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.
