Chartron et Trebuchet Pouilly-Fuisse 2023

Chartron et Trébuchet Pouilly-Fuissé 2023 is a classically elegant, crisp, and beautifully focused white Burgundian wine that masterfully showcases the unique terroir of the southern Mâconnais. Sourced from Chardonnay vines rooted in ancient, fossil-rich Jurassic clay and limestone soils along the slopes of Solutré and Vergisson, this vintage undergoes traditional vinification before aging for 15 months in French oak barrels with regular lees stirring. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant pale gold hue with youthful green highlights. The highly expressive, refined nose opens with vibrant aromas of fresh green apple, ripe pear, and lemon zest, seamlessly layered with complex undertones of flinty minerals, white blossoms, and roasted peanuts. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied, rich, and beautifully balanced, displaying a seamless fluid coherence where its juicy core of orchard fruit and lemon curd is effortlessly framed by a racy spine of natural acidity. Subtle notes of toasted hazelnut, vanilla, and almond paste fill the mid-palate, leading into a long, precise, and beautifully mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with pan-seared sea bass in lemon-caper butter, creamy mushroom risotto, lobster tails with drawn butter, or aged goat cheese.
