2023 Pouilly Fuisse Vieilles Vignes, Domaine des Deux Roches

Pale gold with green reflections, this Pouilly-Fuissé shimmers with quiet intensity. Aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and toasted hazelnut mingle with hints of acacia, citrus zest, and wet stone. On the palate, it’s rich yet poised with layered orchard fruit wrapped in a silken texture, balanced by vibrant acidity and a touch of saline minerality. Elegant, textural, and beautifully complete, it glides into a long, mouthwatering finish that hums with energy.

For when: the table’s candlelit and the food’s too good to rush.
Pairs with: scallops, roast chicken, or creamy truffle pasta.
If this wine were a fabric, it’d be silk with a hidden seam of steel.

From vines averaging 60 years of age, rooted in the limestone-rich slopes around Fuissé and Solutré, this cuvée captures the soul of Domaine des Deux Roches: wines of purity, power, and precision. The fruit is hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented partly in stainless steel and partly in oak, striking a perfect balance between freshness and depth. The 2023 vintage is a glowing success: expressive, harmonious, and beautifully reflective of both its terroir and the deft touch of the Terriers.
