Alcohol: 13.5%
Grape(s): 100% Chardonnay
Location: Pouilly-Fuissé, Burgundy, France
Tasting Notes: Pale golden with subtle green reflections. The nose is refined and expressive, offering aromas of white peach, citrus, and green apple, intertwined with floral notes and a touch of minerality. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced and elegant, with a lively acidity that enhances flavors of stone fruit, lemon, and a hint of almond, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.
Notes: Domaine Barraud Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru "Les Crays" is produced from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the esteemed "Les Crays" vineyard, a premier cru site known for its limestone-rich soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wine. The wine is aged in barrel (20% new oak) for 12 months, then an additional three months in tank, and is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Food Pairing: Excellent with shellfish, grilled fish, poultry with creamy sauces, and soft cheeses. It also complements gourmet dishes and elegant dining experiences.
Winery Story: Domaine Daniel et Julien Barraud is the source of Vergisson's finest organic wines and sets the standard for world-class white Burgundy from the Mâconnais. With its high-altitude vineyards, the hamlet of Vergisson is where the region's finest wines are made. The Barraud family's history began in 1905, when Jean-Marie Barraud, a sharecropper, settled in the village; the first wine from the legendary 'Les Crays' vineyard appeared in 1947. Winemaker Daniel Barraud, the family's fourth generation, and his wife Martine are widely held as one of the top winemaking families in the region, and their son Julien began working at the Domaine in 2006.
