Pure and crystalline, this Pouilly-Loché also displays a lovely freshness. Hailing from a fairly sunny terroir, the wine is refined and subtle, with light oak notes. A unique sensation of harmony and delicacy fills the palate; it’s tight, with the minerality still taking center stage. Simply superb!

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the estate:

This large estate in Fuissé now spans 30 hectares, comprising a wide range of terroirs with great potential for future Premier Crus. Sandrine and her brother Christophe manage the property, and Christophe meticulously oversees the wines, constantly striving to improve them. His commitment to releasing them with a vintage gap whenever possible is commendable. Vineyard-specific winemaking is skillfully carried out in magnificent, modern facilities that are perfectly suited to the task. The short-term goal is to convert the entire estate to organic farming. This is undoubtedly a leading estate in the Mâconnais region, where you’ll find age-worthy wines that are consistently crisp and well-structured.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Coming from a family of winemakers spanning eight generations, Andrée and René Thibert established their own estate in 1967, covering 2.5 hectares. Today, their children, Sandrine and Christophe, co-manage a 20-hectare vineyard. A (very) reliable choice from the Mâconnais region.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Founded in 1967, the estate spans nearly 30 hectares across the appellations of Pouilly, Mâcon-Fuissé, Mâcon-Prissé, Mâcon-Verzé, and Saint-Véran. It is family-run by Christophe Thibert and his sister Sandrine, in collaboration with the meticulous Fabien Duperray (see Domaine Jules Desjourneys, in Beaujolais). The estate is gaining momentum. The majority of the range reflects precise ripeness and masterful aging, as well as great aging potential, as evidenced by the latest vintages. We are close to a second star.
