2021 Domaine Roc des Boutires 'Aux Bouthieres' Chardonnay Pouilly-Fuisse

Winemaker Notes: On the palate, the wine reveals its true character. Light-bodied and crisp, it dances across the taste buds with a lively energy. Flavors of zesty lemon and juicy apple take center stage, while subtle notes of beeswax add a unique and intriguing complexity. The wine gains depth and flesh as it evolves, leading to a long and mineral-tinged finish that lingers on the palate.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières 1er Cru comes from vines planted in 1945 and cropped at 28hL/ha this year, aged half in barrel and half in vat. It has a nuanced nose, understated at first, opening with yellow plum, jasmine and crushed rock scents, showing very good delineation. The palate is well balanced, the oak neatly integrated and subtle, allowing the texture to shine through. There's plenty of energy here. This is precise on the finish, and it will age very well in bottle…if you can resist temptation."


Wine Spectator - "Light-bodied and crisp, this white evokes white flower, lemon, apple and beeswax flavors. Gains flesh and complexity as this builds to a long, mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2028. 250 cases made, 100 cases imported."
