Domaine Pascal & Mireille Renaud
Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay
Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France
The nose just gives off a brightness that reminds me of wines from the late 70s and early 89s from the Maconnais but that seems rare these days. Buckets of crisp apple and white peach, a little straw, wet clay-like minerality. Deeply flavored in the mouth, with an initial whack of fruit before low-toned mineral earth notes take over. Bright acids to propel the whole thing along. Really nice!

Oct 29th, 2023Nice purity, freshness, and intensity. Nose has zingy ripe fruit, fresh straw, limestoney earth. Balanced and full flavored in the mouth. Finish is extremely minerally and intense. Great value.

Oct 6th, 2021As it warms and sits, the nose gets richer, with deep ripe pear and apple fruit, and loads of wet, chalky Burgundian earth. It’s very deeply flavored, with concentrated fruit, intense minerality, and good acids. It’s a Maconnais white that is proud of its roots and doesn’t try to pass itself off as one of its haughtier Cote de Beaune relatives.

Try as I might, I couldn't find much to enjoy about this Pouilly Fuissé. To my taste, it was thin, lacking the necessary body and with flavors of under-ripe fruit (apple,.pear and pineapple) with a touch of citrus. Not delicious at all
