Eve and Michel Rey built this estate from small plots between the Roche de Vergisson and the Roche de Solutré. Their organic Pouilly-Fuissé, aged ten months in barrel, shows white peach, citrus and toasted hazelnut with a creamy, mineral core.

Description
Eve and Michel Rey farm small parcels in the Mâconnais, in southern Burgundy, on the limestone slopes below the Roche de Vergisson and the Roche de Solutré. The vines are worked organically. Chardonnay on this limestone gives ripe orchard fruit with firm acidity and a chalky mineral undertow, the hallmark of the site. Ten months in barrel shapes the wine: slow oxygen exchange through the wood softens the acids and builds structure, lees ageing adds a creamy, savoury weight, and partial malolactic conversion turns sharp malic acid into rounder lactic tones, giving the wine its texture and a faint hazelnut note. The result is bright gold in the glass, with white peach and lemon on the nose lifted by hazelnut, beeswax and a light toast from the barrel. The palate is round but fresh, carrying stonefruit and citrus through a long, stony finish. Serve at 10 to 12 degrees in a white Burgundy glass.
Additional information
Pairs with roast chicken and cream-sauced poultry, and with richer fish such as monkfish or lobster in butter. The nutty, savoury depth also suits Comté and aged Gruyère.
