Description
"Pierrefolle" is one of Château des Rontets' most characterful sites and shows the deeper, more mineral side of Pouilly-Fuissé. The lime- and stone-rich soils give the Chardonnay a striking salty tension and a very precise, terroir-driven structure. Château des Rontets works consciously with restraint and close to nature, which makes the wine appear incredibly clear and elegant despite its concentration.
2022 is open and harmonious, yet incredibly focused and energetic. The Chardonnay combines fine ripeness with chalky minerality and a very straightforward, precise structure. Instead of opulent creaminess or dominant use of wood, "Pierrefolle" clearly focuses on balance, tension, and Burgundian elegance. It is precisely this combination of depth and freshness that gives the wine its special character.
The aging in wood remains subtle and excellently integrated, so that origin and vintage are uncompromisingly in the spotlight. As a result, the Pouilly-Fuissé displays a very classic Burgundian style – mineral, elegant, and with a long, finely salty finish.
This is what to expect when drinking
Precise mineral character with citrus notes that take on an exotic quality when mature.
Compact and concentrated, yet juicy and vibrant with a long, salty finish.
Excellent with seafood platters, andouillette with mustard, or escargots.
