2023 Cecile Paquet Premier Cru Pouilly-Fuisse

Despite the sometimes steely reputation of Mâconnais Chardonnays, Cécile Paquet’s 2023 Premier Cru Pouilly-Fuissé offers a surprising tenderness, blooming with fragrant notes of orchard fruit and a whisper of almond. This is Burgundy that feels both grounded in its mineral-rich terroir and invitingly open, ready to share its subtle complexities. It’s a wine that whispers rather than shouts, offering a sophisticated charm for those moments you want to savour.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Inviting notes of green apple, citrus blossoms, and a hint of toasted almond.

• Finish: A long, elegant finish with refreshing acidity and a delicate saline quality.
