2022 Joseph Burrier Château de Beauregard Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru Les Reisses
£44.00
“Les Reisses turns to the north-east, moving out of Fuissé into Pouilly. The vineyard has a longer vegetative cycle, and ripens later than Menetrières next door. The nose suggests just a little less weight, more white fruit than yellow, but if possible even more nobility. Stretches out wonderfully across the palate, then slightly more oak at the finish. Gorgeous!”

Product Description
Maison Joseph Burrier continues the tradition of our family, who have been working in the vineyards of southern Burgundy for over 5 centuries. Today, we operate one of the leading family vineyards in the Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions.
At the southernmost tip of Burgundy, the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation covers 800 hectares, 194 of which will be classified as Premiers Crus from the 2020 vintage. The villages of Chaintré, Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly and Vergisson constitute its exclusive production area, in an exceptional natural setting: the world-famous rocks of Solutré and Vergisson, Jurassic limestone spurs culminating at 495 m and classified as a “Grand Site de France”. The 1er Cru LES CRAYS is situated at an altitude of 400m, on the steeply sloping (15-20%) south-facing hillside below the Roche de Vergisson cliff, on very stony (scree), fairly deep brown clay-limestone soils. Château de Beauregard owns just under a hectare in the ‘LES REISSES’ climat, located on the steep, east-facing slope of Mont de Pouilly, on shallow, chalky soils.
The wine is very rich, opulent, but without losing its finesse and balance. Lemony, honeyed finish.
