The 2023 Château des Quarts Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru is a high-quality Burgundy Chardonnay from the Mâconnais, produced from one of the newly classified Premier Cru sites within the appellation. Made from 100% Chardonnay grown on limestone-rich soils, it reflects both the precision and growing prestige of Pouilly-Fuissé, now recognized for its top-tier vineyard sites.
The nose is elegant and complex, showing aromas of pear, citrus and melon, layered with subtle reduction ("struck match"), white flowers and a touch of mineral depth. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a rounded, textured mouthfeel balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavours of orchard fruit and citrus are supported by a strong mineral backbone, leading to a long, fresh and refined finish. The careful use of oak and lees aging adds complexity while maintaining precision and terroir expression.
The style is classic Premier Cru Pouilly-Fuissé - combining richness with tension and minerality - offering both immediate appeal and the ability to age over the next 8–12+ years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout premium white Burgundy for customers looking to explore the new wave of Premier Cru Pouilly-Fuissé. Ideal for those who enjoy Meursault or top-tier Mâconnais wines with both richness and structure. This is not a simple white - it’s about depth, precision and terroir. Best enjoyed with decanting if young. Perfect with lobster, scallops, poultry or creamy dishes.
