Domaine Carrette Pouilly-Fuisse

"Nathalie and her husband Hervé are blessed with 16 hectares spread across Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon Milly-Lamartine, and Mâcon Solutré, all of which are now certified organic with the 2023 vintage. Hervé is constantly at work in their vines, strictly devoted to grass and pest management, and following a rigorous green harvest to control yields for optimal concentration and balance. In the cellar, Nathalie works only with native, wild yeast fermentations for vinification parcellaire, and ages their whites in a combination of Demi-muids, larger oval foudres, and barriques from Radoux, Rousseau, and Berthomieu for up to 24 months for her Premier Crus, with a maximum of only 10% new oak for the top Premier Cru sites."-France + Western

The Domaine Carrette Pouilly-Fuisse is an excellent example of what serious Pouilly-Fuisse is capable of. A showcase of elegance and grace, with beautiful notes of golden apple and pear. Layered, complex, and mineralic. An excellent wine from an excellent domaine.
