Marcel owns 0.5ha in the famed Clos Reyssié vineyard in the village of Chaintré, one of four villages which comprise Pouilly-Fuissé. His family has an intimate relationship with this vineyard, beginning with his great-grandfather having drawn the map for original boundaries of Clos Reyssié. One of just 12 producers in Clos Reyssié, his parcel is towards the lower part of the slope, which is beneficial, as a lot of the heavier clay elements get washed from the top. Heavy clay with a vein of limestone running throughout, this vineyard gives incredibly complex, opulent wines which are deeply satisfying.
This fine white wine is made from the Chardonnay grape variety.
Located on the town of Chaintré in the region of Mâconnais in
South Burgundy. The name of the climate comes from its
cadastral locality. This plot parcel has a calcareous and deeply
clayey soil, in mid-slope.
The vines are 80 years old on average. As the domain is
undergoing a conversion to organic farming, the soil is tilled
about 5 times a year, using different tillage tools. The vines
undergo natural treatments, involving sulfur and copper in low
doses, which is accompanied by plant extracts and plant
manures to promote a natural protective action.
During the harvest, the grapes are picked entirely by hand when
ripe. Pressing is done by pneumatic presses with the whole
bunch, without being destalked. This is followed by the must
settling procedure that takes place twice in order to delicately
extract the juices and thus, preserve the aromatic finesse. The
musts are then cooled and decanted. The vinification occurs in
French oak barrels until spring of the following year. Bottling
takes place after a minimum aging period of 11 months.
This wine has subdued scents of fresh, ripe white and citrus
fruits. Its scents are always rich and harmonious, well
constituted, compact, pure, and long on the palate. The wine's is
rich, full, and well balanced and its finish has a salty touch.
