This wine is produced by Joseph Drouhin, a long-established family house known for its refined and terroir-driven approach across Burgundy. Sourced from vineyards in Pouilly Fuisse in the Maconnais, this wine reflects a region recognised for producing generous yet structured expressions of Chardonnay. Drouhin applies the same attention to detail here as in its more prestigious sites, focusing on balance, precision, and a clear sense of origin.
The wine is made entirely from Chardonnay, with fruit drawn from limestone-rich soils that contribute freshness and definition. Winemaking combines stainless steel and partial oak ageing, allowing for gentle texture development while preserving the natural purity of the fruit. The use of oak is measured and integrated, supporting the wine rather than dominating it. Positioned in the mid to premium tier, it offers a polished and classic interpretation of Pouilly Fuisse, bridging accessibility with Burgundian finesse.
