The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Awarded a 2nd star in the 2023 RVF Guide, Eric Forest has reached the pinnacle of success! In a perpetual search for perfection, this talented winemaker is now one of the finest signatures of Burgundy, producing exclusively white wines of a rare amplitude, with a very chalky accent, backed up by precise maturation. 

Old vines managed according to biodynamic principles, grapes harvested at the right maturity: this talent for emotion leaves no one indifferent. There is genius in this instinctive and meticulous winemaker who is one of the most consistent and talented ones of his generation!
Wine Artfully highlighting the profile of these limestone terroirs, the 2021 white Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Pouilly displays its vibrancy and minerality. The fresh nose, with notes of yellow fruit, citrus, almond and custard, is pure enchantment. The palate is full and generous, full-bodied and precise, masterfully surrounded by saline and mineral touches that lengthen the finish. A bottle that will age well for another 6 to 8 years.
