92-94 The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Crays 1er Cru comes from steep limestone soils well-drained on the Roc de Vergisson. The fruit here tends to ripen a little quicker than others as it retains heat during the night due to the strong soils. That energy and richness are deftly controlled on the nose: acacia honey, honeysuckle, apricot blossom and chalk dust scents billowing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and very nuanced, with a crisp bead of acidity, a little compact on the understated, brioche-tinged finish that suggests it will be slightly drinking earlier than the La Maréchaude. ...

• Practicing organic. • 100% Chardonnay. • 60+ year old vines. • Located on the upper part of Les Crays. Sits on the bedrock of the Roche de Vergisson. • South facing with pure rock at the surface in parts of the site. • Arguably the most concentrated cru with equally compelling minerality and precision. • Indigenous yeast. • Aged 12 months in barrel (20% new), then 3 months in stainless steel.

Varietal: Chardonnay

For most people, the Chardonnay grape varietal is one of the quintessential white wine grapes. It isn't difficult to understand why; Chardonnay may well have started off in regions of France (where it is still used widely today in both single variety white wines as well as sparkling Champagne wines) but it is now grown in every wine producing country in the world. Indeed, it was the New World that took Chardonnay to some exciting new extremes – this relatively neutral grape has the fantastic ability to carry much of its terroir in the bottle, resulting in a fascinating range of flavors and styles. Furthermore, Chardonnay is one of the few white wine grapes which is well suited to aging, as can be seen in some of the excellent produce consistently coming out of Burgundy, and elsewhere in the world. With everything from buttery, creamy characteristics to vibrant tropical fruit notes, Chardonnay will never cease to surprise and impress.

Region: Burgundy

In the beautiful French wine region of Burgundy, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there has been viticultural activity going on for at least two thousand years. To add to this, there are early written records praising the exceptional wines produced in this region dating back to the 6th century, making Burgundy one of the oldest established and still operational wine regions in the world. The region is most commonly associated with fine red wines, with Pinot Noir being the primary grape varietal grown on its rolling hillsides and gently sloping valleys. However, Chardonnay grapes are also produced in abundance for the production of their fine white wines, with both varietals benefiting greatly from the region's warm, hot summers and the superb soils which make up the terroir.

Country: France

Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
