2021 Bouchard Aine & Fils Pouilly-Fuisse

Bouchard Aîné & Fils Pouilly‑Fuissé is a refined, mineral‑driven Chardonnay from the southern Mâconnais, showing the hallmark elegance of the limestone slopes around Fuissé, Solutré‑Pouilly, Vergisson, and Chaintré. Expect gold‑green brilliance, floral minerality, and a creamy, nut‑tinged finish — a classic Burgundian white that balances purity with depth.

Aroma - Elegant yet restrained nose: mineral and floral notes (acacia, honeysuckle) with vegetal undertones and a touch of honey. As it opens, hints of pear and citrus emerge, evolving toward hazelnut and toasted almond with bottle age.

Palate - Fine, smooth, and pure; medium‑bodied with creamy lees richness.Youthful citrus and white‑fruit tones (pear, apple, lemon) shifting to nutty, buttery complexity after 1–2 years.Crisp acidity underpins ripe fruit; oak adds gentle roundness without masking minerality.

Finish: Long, polished, and subtly honeyed, echoing almond and stone.

A gold‑green, mineral‑driven Chardonnay from the limestone slopes of Pouilly‑Fuissé. Floral and honeyed aromas, a smooth, citrus‑pear palate, and a refined nutty finish showcase Burgundy’s finesse. Perfect with seafood or creamy poultry — elegant, balanced, and classically Burgundian.
