Christophe Cordier Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes 2016
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
If you love white Burgundy, you’ve got to get your hands on Christophe Cordier’s luxuriously barrel aged Pouilly-Fuissé. Christophe is one of the hottest names in Burgundy’s Mâcon region. The 2016 release of his old-vine (‘vieilles vignes’) Chardonnay received a 90-point rating from Vinous.com critic Stephen Tanzer, who called it “juicy and nicely delineated, offering lovely intensity ... nicely balanced, very expressive wine.”
The white wines of the Pouilly-Fuissé region also offer superb value compared to Burgundy’s more famous villages to the north. And, as a leading winemaker in the region, Christophe has taken the reputation of the domaine – which was founded by his grandparents in 1945 – to new heights. He focuses on maximizing fruit concentration and his ripe, old-vine Chardonnay (aged for 12 months in fine French oak) boasts real depth of flavor.
This elegant and intense wine is packed with notes of ripe apple and pineapple, plus a creamy texture. It can be enjoyed before dinner on its own, but is even better alongside seafood-focused hors d’oeuvres or fish entrées (smothered in a creamy lemon sauce is best!).
Top winemaking credentials, major critical praise, and incredible value … it’s time to take advantage of this fantastic deal and taste Christophe’s delicious white Burgundy for yourself.
