The 2024 Clos des Rocs Pouilly-Fuissé Pierrotes is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay showing lemon, white peach and ripe pear alongside green apple, white flowers, citrus zest and fine stony mineral notes. The wine combines generous southern Burgundy fruit with bright freshness, while subtle savoury and saline nuances add depth and complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with lively acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Lemon, pear and white peach are complemented by floral, nutty and gentle savoury notes, while a precise mineral character provides definition and length. The palate is rounded yet focused, leading to a dry, clean and persistent finish with refreshing acidity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy elegant Pouilly-Fuissé with texture, freshness and mineral detail. It is approachable in its youth but has enough structure to develop additional savoury and nutty complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops, butter-poached marron, roast chicken with tarragon, grilled turbot with beurre blanc, or mushroom and leek risotto.
