Domaine des Trois Dames, 2023
Pouilly Fuisse 1er Cru Au Vignerais 2023
Pouilly Fuisse 1er Cru Au Vignerais 2023
Au Vignerais is a prestigious vineyard with an exceptional terroir, where calcareous soils and optimal exposure result in a wine with depth, finesse, and pronounced minerality. In the glass, the wine shines with a bright golden-yellow color and subtle green reflections. The aroma is seductive and complex, with notes of ripe peach, citrus, white flowers, and a subtle hint of toasted almond and vanilla, derived from sophisticated oak aging. On the palate, it is rich and layered, with a beautiful balance between creamy texture, fresh acidity, and a long, mineral finish.

A name buzzing in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation: Simon Ravaud and his brand-new Domaine des 3 Dames. Simon manages a winery with approximately 6.5 hectares in the village of Solutré, in the shadow of the famous Roche. He started in 2014, using plots belonging to three different ladies, hence the name. A little Mâcon-Solutré, Saint Véran, and especially Pouilly-Fuissé. Simon is an energetic guy, enthusiastic and full of life.
Seldom has a first visit to a winemaker inspired so much confidence. A tidy cellar, a selection of new and used barriques from France's best coopers. And someone with a very clear plan spoke convincingly. The wines did the rest.
