"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!

Domaine noté (guide 2021) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the domain :

The Parinet family, owners of Château du Moulin-à-Vent, acquired this 4.2-hectare estate in the village of Pouilly in 2016. Management, from vineyard to vinification, has been entrusted to Brice Laffond, already in charge of their property in Beaujolais. The majority of their vineyards are old vines, cultivated organically without certification. The first vintages suggest that we have here one of tomorrow's leading estates, the irruption of a new and serious competitor in the Mâconnais. The 2017s appeared in the previous edition of our guide alongside the Château du Moulin-à-Vent crus. Vers Cras, Chailloux and Bouthières will logically be among the future first growths of Pouilly-Fuissé. The 2018s continue the qualitative ascent of this young estate, beautifully illustrating their terroirs with well-adapted maturation.
