Pure and crystalline, this Pouilly-Loché also expresses freshness. From a rather sunny area, the wine is fine and subtle, with a light woodiness. A singular sensation of harmony and delicacy invades the palate, it's tight, the minerality still outshines the wine. Simply superb!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

This large estate in Fuissé now covers 30 hectares, with a wide range of terroirs and great potential for future premier crus. Sandrine and her brother Christophe manage the estate, and Christophe meticulously oversees the wines, constantly challenging himself. His decision to offer as many of the wines as possible from different vintages is to be commended. Vinification by parcel is intelligently carried out in magnificent, modern, perfectly adapted facilities. The short-term objective is to convert the entire estate to organic production. This is unquestionably a benchmark domaine in the Mâconnais, where you'll find wines for laying down, always in a very taut, straightforward style.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Descended from an 8-generation winegrowing dynasty, Andrée and René Thibert created their own estate in 1967, covering 2.5 ha. Today, their children Sandrine and Christophe are co-managers of a 20-hectare vineyard. A (very) safe bet in the Mâconnais.

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Created in 1967, the estate covers almost 30 hectares in the Pouilly, Mâcon-Fuissé, Mâcon-Prissé, Mâcon-Verzé and Saint-Véran appellations. It is run as a family business by Christophe Thibert and his sister Sandrine, in collaboration with the methodical Fabien Duperray (see Domaine Jules Desjourneys, in Beaujolais). The domaine is going from strength to strength. The majority of the range reflects the precision of maturation and mastery of ageing, as well as great ageing potential, as the latest vintages prove. We're close to a second star.
