“With its flavors of exotic fruits and yellow peach, Majorum is nonetheless not lacking in freshness.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF). Produced only in exceptional vintages, this is a complex, refined, and mineral-driven white wine, punctuated by spicy notes and featuring a delicious hint of flint. A beautifully balanced wine, endowed with great richness... Shipped in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2017 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2026 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the wine:
A concentrated, intense blend with spicy notes and a touch of exoticism.
About the estate:
Sébastien and Romain Redde continue to build on the success of this iconic Pouilly estate, founded in the 1950s by their grandfather Michel. Actively developed by their father Thierry, the range covers the appellation’s five terroirs. They have since structured it into single-vineyard cuvées, spread across the 40 hectares of vineyards (including 1.5 hectares of Chasselas). In 2016, the Barre-à-Mine cuvée was born from a former flint quarry, planted at 10,000 vines per hectare and restored after a titanic effort. The Majorum cuvée represents the jewel of the range, sourced from the oldest vines and produced only in exceptional vintages. The well-equipped winery, meticulous aging, and the two brothers’ drive for improvement cement this estate’s place among the sector’s finest success stories.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
The estate was founded in the 17th century by a man named François Redde, a winemaker from Pouilly-sur-Loire. His distant descendant, Michel Redde, revived the winery in the 1950s. Today, his son Thierry and his grandsons Sébastien and Romain run the 40-hectare estate, which is in the process of converting to organic farming.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This historic estate—one of the few to grow Chasselas grapes—is now run by Thierry Redde’s two sons, Sébastien and Romain. Alongside fairly classic wines that are never treated with enzymes or yeast (such as La Moynerie or the very ripe Majorum), the lineup is organized by terroir, at the initiative of the new generation: Les Bois de Saint-Andelain (red flint-rich clay), Les Cornets (Kimmeridgian marl), Champs des Billons (Portlandian limestone), Barre à Mine (high-density vines planted with a crowbar in a former flint quarry), and, most recently, Les Toupées (Oxfordian limestone). The latest vintages are crafted with meticulous care and undeniable integrity.

About the wine:
With its notes of exotic fruits and yellow peach, Majorum is by no means lacking in freshness.
Gilbert & Gaillard
Wine rated (2016 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
A clear, pale yellow color. A delicate nose with mineral notes, dried fruit, a hint of bread crust, and great complexity. On the palate, it offers beautiful fullness, precise and intense aromas, and, above all, remarkable length. A wine for fine dining.
