Mâconnais 2018

The vines here were planted in 1927, and they give a benchmark Pouilly-Fuissé. There are notes of pineapple and melon, with such texture and a fine thread of acidity throughout. Simply delicious.

From a north facing in Vergisson, this is very Côte de Beaune - you can see the line from Meursault to this wine. There’s such drive and purity, yet with a beautiful nutty, mineral finish. It’s so long - this is one to stock up on, brilliant.

Dominique bought the estate for this 2.5ha clos, planted in 1980 but with a history dating back centuries. This is so mealy, with apples and limes and salinity and length. This makes your lips tingle on the finish: incredible, true Chardonnay.

From 12 different parcels, with the youngest 40 years old, and a lot at 80 years old, Caroline is very careful of the date of harvest here. This is floral and delicate, with such energy and complexity. Amazing in 2018.
