Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru "Aux Chailloux" 2022, Domaine Seve

Pouilly-Fuisse only got its premier crus recently. Aux Chailloux was one of the plots that made the case for them.

PRODUCER This seven-hectare property lies on the steep slopes overlooking Solutré, one of the finest of all the Mâcon villages and the very core of the appellation. Antoine and Mathilde Sève, the current (and fifth) generation, apply rigorous standards in the vineyard and the cellar, following similar ideologies and production methods as seen at the top estates in the Côte de Beaune.

TASTING NOTE Vibrant notes of ripe orchard fruits with hints of toasted almonds and subtle minerality. The palate is rich and textured, showcasing the depth of old vines, while a bright acidity provides balance and finesse with a long, lingering finish. VITICULTURE & WINEMAKING: Rendez-Vous is a Premier Cru 0.90 ha vineyard with 40-year-old vines. The plots are ploughed, with harvesting done both manually and mechanically. Maceration during 25 days and 8 monts aging in staninless-steel.
