What happens when one of the world's most popular grape varieties finds its perfect home? A great wine is born. Just like this Pouilly-Fuissé from Pierre André. A Burgundy white that is anything but ordinary. We are in the heart of the Mâconnais, where the grapes are imbued with minerality, elegance and a vibrant freshness that strikes you right in the heart. The landscape is dominated by the imposing Rocks of Solutré and Vergisson, two limestone bastions which, in addition to being prehistoric archaeological sites of great importance, offer a unique terroir. The vineyards extend over amphitheatre-shaped slopes, well exposed to the east and south, between 200 and 300 metres above sea level. This privileged location, combined with clay-limestone soil rich in Jurassic fossils, gives the grapes unrivalled concentration and balance. 100% Chardonnay, Maison Pierre André follows traditional winemaking methods. The freshly harvested grapes are immediately pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a low temperature to extract and preserve all the primary and secondary aromas of the grapes and terroir. The wine is filtered and bottled, maintaining its innate liveliness. Light golden yellow in colour, it is anything but shy on the nose. A complex bouquet, where the classic fruity notes of ripe Chardonnay blend with an intriguing hint of almond. On the palate, this Pouilly-Fuissé reveals a warm harmony. It is not only rich but also well balanced, culminating in an aromatic persistence that lingers for a long time. A full but dynamic sip, never tiring. Try it with lobster or grilled prawns, but also with a classic chicken à la bresse. Excellent with mature goat's cheeses.
The history of Maison Pierre André began in 1923. A few years later, in 1927, the founder acquired a château in Aloxe-Corton, officially beginning the production of wines that express the great terroirs and grape varieties that symbolise Burgundy, namely Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pierre André wines are produced in one of the most celebrated areas in the world: Burgundy, a mosaic of vineyards stretching along hillsides and valleys with a continental climate, where different exposures and unique soils – mainly composed of marl rich in limestone and clay – play a crucial role. Here, the concept of Climat, or a small, well-defined plot of vineyard, is literally sacred. For the rest, the attention to detail is simply obsessive: from the care taken with the old vines, which guarantee more concentrated and complex grapes, to the winemaking techniques which, while remaining traditional, make use of modern equipment to ensure maximum purity.
