"A great wine for laying down!

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
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 ) 95/100
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:
Additional refinement in Les Birbettes, with its magnificent scope, which resonates for a long time on the palate and unfolds with penetrating intensity on the finish, with great naturalness of expression.
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 Les Birbettes 2022 contains pre-war vineyards and half a hectare planted after the phylloxera epidemic. The bouquet is once again seductive, quite complex and mineral, with light notes of oyster shells and a hint of mint. The palate is well balanced, with lively, fresh, taut acidity, commendable depth and a slightly viscous finish. A superb wine.
