The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A winemaker at the pinnacle of his art, Christophe Cordier makes his wines shine with a marked and remarkable patina. Majestic in the mâconnais, he has held sway on Beaujolais soils with the same success for some years now. Today we are able to bring you a comprehensive sample of the "savoir-faire" of this exceptional winemaker, hailed a "hero" by the Wine Advocate and "man of the year" by the Bourgogne Aujourd'hui magazine.
Wine From amongst the finest terroirs of Fuissé and Vergisson, the Pouilly-Fuissé 2009 is blessed with extraordinary tautness. The wine is chiselled and of remarkable aromatic purity on the palate. As mineral as you could want for, the wine on the palate retains a meaty, muscular texture. This is a gem from Southern Burgundy terroirs, undoubtedly a reference wine.
Vinification Clean, painstaking viticulture, hand harvesting at full maturity while taking care to retain very good acidity. Whole grapes are gently pressed for 4 hours, the juices are transferred into casks applying only gravity, 12 months cask-aging on all the lees, no fining or filtration, bottled by gravity. Yield: 28 hl/ha.
