Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru 2022, Domaine de la Chapelle

✨ Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru – Domaine de la Chapelle ✨

Next-Gen Pouilly-Fuissé: Luxury & Precision Combined 🍋🍑

A top-level Burgundy that truly stuns with its richness, finesse and length. This is the Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru from Domaine de la Chapelle, crafted by the charismatic Pascal Rollet (yes — the cowboy hat winemaker 🤠). Harvested from the iconic ‘Aux Bouthières’ plot, officially elevated to Premier Cru status since 2020, and fully aged in oak barrels.

This generous Chardonnay brings creamy luxury and lively minerality together, with a bolder oak profile than their AX-B and Vieilles Vignes cuvées. A luxury white Burgundy that is already gorgeous now, but will age gracefully for years to come.
