Jean-Claude Boisset Blanc MaconVillages AC
Description: 100% Chardonnay showing a sparkling, straw-yellow colour and very refined nose that is fresh, with notes of flowers and white fruits. In the mouth it is very dense while lemony characteristics are to the fore, supported by good acidity through to the finish. The grapes are harvested when ripe and collected in small ventilated crates and once in the winery 50% of the wine is barrel-aged with regular stirring of the lees, while the two fermentations – alcoholic and malolactic – take place. The other half of the wine is vat-aged, to retain the natural freshness of Macon wines. This process takes place over a 12 month period, with very light filtration prior to bottling to ensure that nothing is taken away from the wine’s intrinsic qualities. Available in 37.5 cl Half Bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl) Price: £117.54

Domaine Thibert BOIS DE LA CROIX Macon Fuisse
Description: This small family-owned and run domaine cultivates 24 acres, all in the small village of Fuisse. This village is said to produce the ripest Pouilly Fuisse with the most flavour, due to its situation and soil. It lies on gently undulating hills, thus capturing the sunlight easily and the chalky soil is a mixture of limestone and slate. The emphasis at Domaine Thibert is definitely on quality rather than quantity and they produce solely Pouilly Fuisse from chardonnay grapes. The wine is fermented in a combination of stainless steel and barrique and then aged in a barrel. The Thiberts espouse natural remedies in the vineyard, working the soil to control vigour and yields. Severe bunch and leaf thinning and lutte raisonnée , aerating the soil to allow the roots to search more deeply for water and harvesting by hand at the maximum of maturity ensures wines of concentration and complexity. The Macon-Fuisse is really a mini Pouilly, with its lovely nose of honey, pear and apple and great mouthfeel. Available in 37.5 cl Half Bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl) Price: £92.57

Pierre Ponnelle Pouilly Fuisse AC
Description: Descriptive : A mere extension of the Mâconnais growths, the appellation lies 6 miles west of the town of Mâcon, gravitating round the famous bluff at Solutré and boxed in-between the northern Crus of Beaujolais to the South and Mâcon-Villages to the North with St Véran forming a ''buffer zone'' on either side. The vineyards producing Pouilly-Fuissé occupy those sites where the limestone occurs in combination with heavy clays. Grape variety : 100 % Chardonnay Tasting notes : The wine shows a green-gold colour which reflects its 'finesse' and distinction. Seductive wine with delicate aromas on the nose. The nature of the soil is conductive to the harmonious development of its fragrance, with floral, mineral, citrus fruits notes and a hint of hazelnuts and toasted almonds. A generous wine, full of flavour. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £113.86
