Pouilly Fuissé terroir de Vergisson

Buisson-Charles
A beautifully precise white from one of the Mâconnais' finest villages, where steep limestone slopes and cool exposures give Chardonnay real tension and lift. The family domaine, based in Meursault, brings its signature touch here: hand-picked fruit, gentle pressing, fermentation and ageing in barrel with regular lees stirring for texture without heaviness. Expect citrus zest, white peach and crushed stone, wrapped in a subtle toasty note from the oak. The 2021 vintage delivers freshness and energy, with a long, mineral finish that keeps you coming back. Lovely now with roast chicken, scallops or creamy cheeses, and happy to age a few more years.
