Domaine Trouillet ‘Aux Chailloux’ Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru 2020

If you’re a fan of bold, complex Chardonnay, nothing quite hits the mark like Burgundy. The finest – and most expensive – examples come from the Côte de Beaune. But if your wallet won’t stretch to the asking prices here, head a little further south to the Mâconnais. The region is home to Pouilly-Fuissé – an appellation renowned for exceptional, yet great value Chardonnay. The Trouillet family have been working the land around Pouilly for generations, and their skills have made them a Majestic favourite. Current winemaker, William Trouillet, is committed to environmentally friendly practices around the estate, crafting complex wines from his 40 to 50 year old vines. This opulent Premier Cru is full and rounded, with aromatic notes of citrus, orchard fruits and fresh blossom. A streak of minerality keeps it refreshing, and makes it a perfect pairing for shellfish.
