Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Finesse and aromatic complexity in Clos Varambon: with its great intensity and haunting length, this ripe, fresh, caressing wine ticks all the boxes.

About the domain :

Claire and Fabio Gazeau-Montrasi took over this historic family estate in 1995. Certified organic since 2005, it consists mainly of Chardonnay vines in Fuissé and a parcel in Saint-Amour. All the estate's whites are aged for almost two years, giving them a natural patina, enriching them and enhancing their complexity. Due to exposure and altitude, the Pouilly-Fuissé wines have not been classified as Premier Crus, but the enlightened wine-lover will not care. The quality of the latest wines on offer puts the domaine on the verge of a second star!

About the wine:

Pouilly-Fuissé Clos Varambon 2022, made from vines planted around the house in 2011 and plots of vines between 40 and 60 years old. Its bouquet is delectable: yellow plum, mirabelle plum and light peach that unfold in the glass with admirable precision. The palate is well-balanced, with sharp acidity on the attack that gives it impressive tension and breed. Surprisingly linear for such a warm vintage, with a hint of spice on the finish, this wine is recommended.
