Right in the heart of the hamlet of Pouilly, opposite the majestic Solutré rock, the Roc des Boutires estate covers 4.2 hectares of Pouilly-Fuissé's finest lieu-dits. The Parinet family and Brice Laffond, originally from Château du Moulin-à-Vent, a few kilometers to the south, produce great Chardonnays here, pure, racy and in very small quantities.

It's in the very village of Pouilly, in the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. Its name refers to two elements: its proximity to the Solutré rock, emblem of the appellation and witness to the extraordinary geological richness of this wine-growing area; and its location at the very heart of one of the appellation's greatest terroirs, Aux Bouthières'. In old French, a boutière was a secondary road used by mules used by muleteers to transport oil and wine to more remote areas to remote areas further inland. Here we are 5 kilometers west of the old Via Agrippa, on a small road leading to the hamlet of of Solutré, the Mâconnais mountains and the Charolais plains. Charolais plains. Every name has a story here!

Some of the terroirs of Domaine du Roc des Boutires have strong identities:

- In Bertilionne: brown/yellow soils derived from marl limestone

- Aux Bouthières: brown clay soils derived from residual limestone clays

- Aux Chailloux: deep clay soils derived from chalk and flint clays

- Aux Combes: silty-clay soils with little stony soil

- Vers Cras: shallow soils derived from hard white limestone

The Chardonnay vines, most of which were planted in the early 70s, flourish with the greatest respect for the plant. At Domaine du Roc des Boutires, the soils are worked and the entire harvest is done by hand in an average of 4 days. The berries are transported to the cuvage in small 40-liter crates to preserve the quality quality of the grapes and to avoid premature oxidation of the juice.

irresistible

Supple and satiny, this superb Pouilly-Fuissé reveals itself. In an unrivalled classic style, this is a luminous, precise white with highly expressive fruit. Ripe Chardonnay combines freshness and minerality with floral and chalky notes. The palate is fine and chiselled, a fine entry-level wine, sapid and salivating. Ideal as an aperitif. We succumb...

complex

salt

"The 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières performs equally well, offering a complex bouquet of pear, Meyer lemon, fresh bread, nutmeg and apricot. Medium- to full-bodied, elegantly textured and incisive, it's bright and well-balanced, with sly depth at the core and a penetrating, delicately saline finish. It will benefit from a few years in the cellar." (Wine Advocate 2020 - William Kelley) A great white! Limited quantities available.

chardonnay

elegant

"The 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé En Bertillonne blends notes of orange oil and yellow apple with hints of beeswax and fresh pastry. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, this is a textured, elegantly muscular wine belted with bright acids, ending with a penetrating finish." (Wine Advocate 2020 - William Kelley) Sublime!
