Bourcier Martinot Pouilly Fuisse 1er Cru Les Crays

Our producer Bourcier Martinot is known for producing steely, mineral-laced Chardonnays. “Les Crays” is a land of limestone boulders located on the southern side of Macon’s Vergisson hill. It benefits from great sun exposure and is protected from Northern cold wind, producing a refreshing mineral wine rich. These plots are now classified as Premier Crus, however, the status only started from 2020, so being 2019’s wine you are effectively getting Premier Cru wine, without the extra price tag!

The 2019 Pouilly Fuisse Les Crays has mingling aromas of creamy apples, buttered almond paste and fresh peach along with some lemon. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied, textural and fleshy with a bright mineral backbone. In the mouth, there is a broad number of complex flavours including creamy lime, spiced pear, tangerine, vanilla and toasty brioche. The structure is beautiful, with interwoven acidity quietly balancing the density and length, a top-class Burgundy Chardonnay with a delicate minerality and a long finish.
