Critical Recognition

Burghound 92 pts
  • 92 Points (Top Value) - Burghound: Like several wines in the range, firm reduction holds sway over the underlying fruit. By contrast, the palate impression of the medium-bodied flavors is a combination of richness, intense and fine volume while retaining good delineation on the clean, dry and bitter lemon-inflected finale.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay: Sourced from the highly regarded 'Les Longeays' climat, a premier slope in Pouilly-Vinzelles that directly borders the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation.
  • Terroir: Firmly rooted in an east-facing slope of deep, iron-rich clay and limestone soils on a Bajocian bedrock, known for yielding wines of intense natural volume and structure.
  • Winemaking: Farmed biodynamically (Demeter-certified). Hand-harvested, whole-cluster pressed, and spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts to ensure maximum terroir transparency.
  • Elevage: Traditionally aged in a mix of older French oak barrels for up to 17 months, allowing the wine to undergo full malolactic fermentation and build textural richness without excessive wood influence.
  • Vintage Profile: The ripe 2022 vintage provided excellent raw material, resulting in a rich, medium-bodied wine that skillfully balances fine volume with a clean, dry, and highly delineated finish.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a bright pale gold, the wine initially shows a firm, flinty reduction—a hallmark of its protective natural winemaking and terroir. Beneath this savory, struck-match character lies a rich and intensely voluminous core of orchard fruit and white flowers. The palate is impressively textured and mouth-filling yet maintains exceptional precision, driving toward a clean, bone-dry finale defined by a persistent, mouthwatering bitter-lemon inflection.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 52-54°F (11-12°C) in a large white Burgundy glass.
  • Decanting: A vigorous decant of 1 hour is highly recommended in its youth to dissipate the firm reduction and allow the underlying fruit to fully emerge. Ideal alongside seared scallops, roast chicken, or rich fish preparations.
