The 2023 Château des Quarts Pouilly-Fuissé “Clos des Quarts” is a flagship monopole Premier Cru Chardonnay from the Mâconnais, representing one of the most prestigious sites in the appellation. Sourced from a walled vineyard in Chaintré with vines dating back to 1917, it showcases exceptional terroir, combining clay-limestone soils, old vines and meticulous winemaking for depth and precision.
The nose is complex and layered, revealing aromas of ripe pear, apple and citrus, intertwined with white flowers, hazelnut and subtle toasted oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a rich, creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavours of orchard fruit, lemon zest and gentle spice are supported by a strong mineral backbone, leading to a long, structured and elegant finish.
Fermented and aged in French oak for extended lees contact, the wine gains additional depth, texture and complexity while maintaining precision and freshness.
The style is powerful yet refined—classic Premier Cru Pouilly-Fuissé—with both immediate richness and outstanding aging potential, capable of evolving beautifully over 10–15+ years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier white Burgundy and a must-try for customers seeking serious Chardonnay with both richness and minerality. Ideal for those who enjoy Meursault or top Pouilly-Fuissé styles. This is not a simple white—it’s about structure, depth and terroir expression. Best enjoyed with decanting if young or cellared for further development. Perfect with lobster, scallops, poultry or creamy dishes.
