90pts Vinous

The nose is well defined with yellow plum and light waxy aromas, a little Conference pear emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with green apple,l pear and nuanced stony notes. Light on its feet and tensile, there is fine nervosite toward the finish. The 2021 is a cool, calm, collected Pouilly-Fuisse to enjoy over the next decade.

Winemaker Notes

A bright, vibrant color with hints of yellow and gold. Aromas of peach and honey fill the nose. The wine’s acidity is well balanced with citrus notes of lime and orange peel adding layers of flavor.

Winery Notes

In the village of Pouilly, in the heart of Pouilly-Fuissé AOC, lies the Domaine du Roc des Boutires. It originates from two names: the proximity with Roche de Solutré, which is an emblem of the appellation and a testament to the extraordinary geologic richness of the vineyard; and its settlement in the very heart of one of the best terroirs of the appellation, ‘Aux Bouthières’. In ancient French vocabulary, a ‘boutière’ means a secondary road that mule skinners used for the transportation of oils and wines in remote parts of the country. The vineyard is actually 5 kilometers west from the ancient Roman track of Via Agrippa, on a very small road which is now leading to the village of Solutré, the hills of the Maconnais and the plains of the Charolais.
