Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru 2023 - "La Maréchaude" - Domaine Buisson Charles
With this wine from the La Maréchaud plot, Domaine Buisson-Charles signs a Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru of great precision, from a terroir known for its generous and mineral expression. Located in the heart of the Mâconnais on limestone soils, this climate allows the Chardonnay to reveal all its aromatic purity and natural balance, in a straight and elegant style.
The colour is clear, pale gold with brilliant reflections. The nose, fine and expressive, reveals aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits and white-fleshed fruits, accompanied by notes of flint, fresh almond and a slight buttery and toasted touch. On the palate, the attack is ample and harmonious, supported by a beautiful freshness and a mineral framework that brings tension and length. The finish, persistent and delicately saline, underlines the purity of the terroir.
A gastronomic wine that will go perfectly with grilled fish or fish in sauce, shellfish, poultry in cream, as well as goat's cheese or pressed cheese.

Wine Characteristics
Elegant and full of charm, this white wine has a colour ranging from pale to deep gold, flecked with green. Different families of aromas make up the bouquet: mineral notes (silex), almond and hazelnut, citrus notes (lemon, grapefruit, and pineapple), white fruits (peaches), bracken, acacia, breadcrumbs, buttered brioche, and honey. In the mouth it is possible to discern the differences between wines from different plots. The texture is opulent, and the structure, thanks partly to the wine’s natural richness, is full of flavour. It is by nature delicate and distinguished. This wine is not to be confused with the Pouilly-Fumé, which comes from the banks of the Loire River.
Wine Steward’s Tip
White: straightforward, rich and complex, it has a characteristic hint of minerality which allows it to partner noble crustaceans (king prawns, lobster, crawfish) as well as foie gras. With acidity and smoothness sonicely in balance, it goes well with white meats such as veal or poultry in cream sauce, as well as many varieties of goat’s cheese. Its aromatic power means it can also match spicy and perfumed exotic dishes such as couscous, fish tajines, or sweet-and-sour prawns. Sushi is also enhanced by its minerality.
Serving temperature: 11 to 13°C.
Situation
The rocky outcrops of Solutré and Vergisson, emblematic of these vineyards, remind us that from a height of 500 metres, 200 million years of history is looking down on us! Indeed, 20,000 years ago one of the most fully evolved prehistoric cultures flourished here. This AOC, instituted in 1936, takes in the four villages of Solutré-Pouilly, Fuissé, Vergisson and Chaintré.
Terroirs
Lying on a foundation of fossiliferous limestone identical to those found further north in the Côte-d’Or, the Bajocien escarpments of Solutré and Vergisson owe their dramatic profile to the presence of hard fossil corals which have resisted erosion. The vines are planted on the slopes and at the foot of these two hills on clay-limestone soils of Jurassic origin mixed with scree from up-slope and, in one spot, schist. The hillsides are cut into by little steep-sided streams which give the slopes an easterly or south-easterly exposure. Altitudes: 200 to 300 metres.
