CHAGNOLEAU 2023 Pouilly-Fuisee 'Pastoral' (Burgundy, FR)

DOMAINE CHAGNOLEAU is a small, family run domain in the Mâconnais (part of Burgundy, FR). It was founded in 2009 by Frantz and Caroline Gon. Their 0.32 ha “Pastoral” parcel is rooted in clay-limestone soils that allow for slow, cool ripening.

The 2023 “Pastoral” is 100% Chardonnay, hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts. Aged on its fine lees for about nine months in Burgundy barrels with minimal new wood (roughly one-third).

On the nose expect fresh citrus—lemon peel, lime blossom—and a pure mineral character.
