Pouilly-Fuisse Sur la Roche

The 2022 Domaine Chataigneraie Laborier Pouilly-Fuisse Sur la Roche stands as a luminous testament to the noble terroir of the Mâconnais. Crafted by the meticulous hand of Gilles Morat, this Chardonnay epitomizes the precision and elegance expected of high-altitude Burgundy sites. On the nose, it unveils a sophisticated bouquet of white orchard fruits, lemon confit, and crushed limestone, underscored by a subtle whisper of toasted hazelnut and white florals. The palate is a masterclass in balance, offering a crystalline tension that is beautifully enveloped by a rich, textural creaminess and a persistent, saline-driven finish. This is a wine of profound clarity and poise, capturing the very essence of its stony origin. Each sip reveals a deliberate complexity, reflecting the low yields and conscientious viticulture practiced by the domaine. Perfectly suited for the discerning collector, it combines the structural integrity of a classic white Burgundy with a modern, vibrant energy that commands attention on any table.
