Description
"Pierrefolle" is one of Château des Rontets' most characterful sites, showcasing the deeper, more mineral side of Pouilly-Fuissé. The calcium and stone-rich soils impart a striking salty tension and a very precise, terroir-driven structure to the Chardonnay. Château des Rontets deliberately works in a restrained and natural way, which makes the wine appear incredibly clear and elegant despite its concentration.
The 2022 vintage is open and harmonious, yet incredibly focused and energetic. The Chardonnay combines subtle ripeness with chalky minerality and a very straightforward, precise structure. Instead of opulent creaminess or dominant oak, "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 take center stage uncompromisingly. As a result, the Pouilly-Fuissé exhibits a very classic Burgundian style – mineral, elegant, and with a long, subtly salty finish.
