Mâcon-Pouilly Solutré 2023, Domaine de la Chapelle

Limestone-driven character: Mâcon-Pouilly Solutré – Domaine de la Chapelle

Looking for a pure, sun-soaked white Burgundy bursting with fruit and finesse? This Mâcon-Pouilly Solutré from Domaine de la Chapelle beautifully expresses the chalky slopes of the iconic Solutré rock. No oak, no frills—just fruit-forward vibrancy from organically farmed, 50-year-old vines. 🍍🥭🍐

✨ Tropical, mineral and citrus-fresh
The wine shines in the glass with a clear medium-golden hue and shimmering legs. The nose is enticingly exotic: mango, apricot jam, ripe pear and passionfruit meet delicate almond and fresh fennel notes.

On the palate, it’s lively and refreshing, with a citrusy start that evolves into a tropical fruit medley—pineapple, mango and guava. The texture is juicy, the character mineral and energetic. No oak, no heaviness—just pure fruit richness and balance, reminiscent of top-tier Pouilly-Fuissé.
