Domaine noté (guide 2023) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2025) 94/100 Favorite
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:
With its natural expression, Pierrefolle offers a grain sharpened by its granite terroir. This sapid, brilliant wine offers radiant flavors and a very subtle lingering finish.
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 Pierrefolle 2022 has the particularity of coming from more granite soils (as in Beaujolais) and a slightly warmer microclimate. This translates into a slightly more mineral, rather "airy" nose, with notes of citrus peel and lime blossom that reveal themselves with aeration. The palate is taut and fresh, with impressive concentration and increased acidity that give the finish a real "edge". Excellent.
