Winemaker Description
The wine combines roundness and depth, typical of great Mâcon wines, along with the balance, freshness and elegance of the Chardonnays further north.
On a quest for excellence, the Domaine has formed an alliance with three key partners for the Bourgogne Blanc. The grapes are carefully sourced from the best producers in various communes. The final blend for this cuvée comes from the regional AOC Bourgogne Blanc, and grapes selected from villages further north.
Coming from Leynes, the original source west of Pouilly, represents the backbone of the wine. The soils are particularly clayey and the vineyard is planted at a high altitude with a cool environment. Also coming from Blanot, which is halfway between Cruzilles and Péronne, in the Northern part of Pouilly, and is famous for its jurassic limestones. The vines are 30 years old on average and planted closely at 10,000 vines per hectare.
Memo Summary Notes
The Domaine du Roc des Boutires Bourgogne Blanc 2022 is a refined "gateway" wine to the Mâconnais region of Burgundy. Owned by the Parinet family (of Château du Moulin-à-Vent) and overseen by winemaker Brice Laffond, this estate is located in the heart of Pouilly-Fuissé.
While technically a regional Bourgogne Blanc, this wine is crafted with high-altitude fruit from 30-year-old vines in cool-climate sites like Leynes and Blanot, which provide a freshness often missing in standard Mâcon wines.
