This cuvee comes the Les Crays, Les Gerbeaux, La Croix Bonnet, and Vers Pouilly climats in Solutre-Fuisse on the slopes of the Roche de Solutre. These plots all face south-east and have a stony topsoil with a limestone subsoil. The average age of the vines is 35 years, and the average yield 55/60 hectolitres per hectare. Wine maker notes Our Pouilly-Fuisse combines structure and elegance with a mineral taste due to its terroir in Solutre. It shows best after several years, displaying all the subtlety of a great Burgundy.
Producer The commune of Davaye is located in the southern part of Burgundy, in the heart of the Macon wine country near Cluny and west of Macon. Our small winegrowing village is nestled at the foot of the Roche de Solutre and the Roche de Vergisson. The beautiful view of steep slopes from Les Valanges is like a picture post card of the Macon region. We created this domaine in 1980. At the time, all the vineyards were in the commune of Davaye, and totalled 2. 5 hectares. For the past 27, however, we have worked tirelessly to expand the estate. We also built a facility where the wine is made, stored, and prepared for shipment. It also houses a barrel cellar. Little by little, we acquired several plots with just the right terroir, and our vineyards now cover 11 hectares in Davaye, of which 8 are entitled to the Saint Veran appellation. We have always been passionately attached to this land, faithful to the terroir, and committed to making unique wines from the limestone soil. Our 11 hectares of vines are located halfway up the slope in climats, or vineyard sites, that are among the best in the Macon region. Sun exposure is south by south-east and the soil in all instances clay-limestone (mostly limestone). Most of the vines grow at an altitude of 200-300 metres. This terroir is wonderful for Chardonnay, producing very expressive, mineral, floral wines with a great deal of fruit.
