Jules Desjourneys
Vignes de la Côte Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay
Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France
Jules Desjourneys – the Coche-Dury of the Mâcon region.
Jean-Marc Vincent's extreme dedication and philosophy towards winemaking are truly moving.This bottle was only 500 HKD, yet it rivals the village-level wines from Burgundy's most famous domaines or the premier crus from second-tier producers.
I first tasted it at a three-Michelin-starred *table* in Paris. The sommelier recommended it as an "insider's wine," known among those in the know for its ultimate quality-to-price ratio, often called a "hidden gem" or "a critic's secret" on the market.
My Tasting Note:
The second time I enjoyed it was in Hong Kong, where I shared several bottles with friends as a casual table wine. To our delight, it was universally praised. After just half an hour of opening, it revealed aromas of petite white flowers and clove; On the palate, it was complex with flavors of white peach, clementine, and yeasty brioche. The acidity was precise and refined, with excellent concentration and a rich mineral drive that showcased the pedigree of a truly good wine.
