About the wine:

This Mâcon delivers a most interesting olfactory package: it skilfully blends honeysuckle and honey with toast in a fruity environment. The palate is complex, developing around a rich body, while the final acidity brings freshness.

About the domain :

In 1946, Francis Auvigue joined forces with three other producer friends to create a small trading house specializing in Pouilly-Fuissé. Francis' grandsons Jean-Pierre and Michel took over in the 1970-75s, developing the other appellations of the Mâconnais. In 2017, the company took over a 7-hectare vineyard and moved into the old church in Fuissé, which had been converted into a wine-making and tasting and sales facility. Today, Sylvain Brenas, Francis' great-grandson, and Céline Hirsh are at the helm.
