Critical Recognition

Burghound 89-91 pts
  • 89-91 Points - Burghound (Allen Meadows): Top value. Cool and very pretty aromas include those of Granny Smith apples, lemon rind and a hint of quinine character. There is a beguiling sense of energy to the rich and solidly voluminous flavors that terminate in a bone-dry and impressively long finish where evident minerality slowly emerges. This is also very good and worth considering.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay: A brilliant, terroir-driven expression of the Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation, crafted by the highly respected Bret Brothers.
  • Top Value: Highlighted by Burghound as a standout value proposition, offering serious Mâconnais quality, texture, and minerality at a highly accessible level.
  • Terroir: Cultivated on the appellation's signature clay and limestone soils, imparting a distinct mineral backbone that frames the wine's fleshy orchard fruit.
  • Winemaking: Farmed rigorously to biodynamic principles (Demeter certified). The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts to ensure maximum transparency of the vineyard.
  • Vintage Profile: The 2022 vintage perfectly marries a rich, voluminous mid-palate with a cool, energetic tension, concluding with a spectacularly dry and mineral-driven finish.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a vibrant pale straw, this energetic Chardonnay opens with a cool, remarkably pretty bouquet. Crisp aromas of Granny Smith apple and zesty lemon rind are accented by an intriguing, gently bitter hint of quinine. On the palate, it is beautifully constructed—delivering rich, solidly voluminous flavors that are instantly electrified by a beguiling sense of energy. The wine carries its weight effortlessly, driving toward a bone-dry, impressively long finish where a persistent, chalky minerality slowly and elegantly emerges.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly chilled at 50-54°F (10-12°C) in a standard white wine glass to preserve its cool aromatics and energetic tension.
  • Decanting: Not strictly required, though a few minutes in the glass allows the nuanced minerality to fully emerge. Pair wonderfully with pan-fried white fish, roast chicken with herbs, or a fresh chèvre salad.
