Presentation
Ideally located at the foot of the famous Roche de Solutré, in the hamlet of Pouilly, the Trouillet estate, currently managed by William (4th generation), extends over twenty hectares. Its history reflects a beautiful dynamic: Jules Guérin, William's great-grandfather, started with a sharecropping of 4 hectares that his son Jean then exploited for 45 years. The gradual expansion of the estate over generations allows the production of several recognized appellations today: Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Vinzelles, Pouilly-Loché, and Mâcon-Solutré. The vines are cultivated with a respectful approach to the terroir, with meticulous soil work and manual harvesting. Vinifications preserve the aromatic purity of the wines, thanks to low-temperature fermentations and aging on fine lees in tanks or oak barrels. Specificity of the estate: a precise and authentic approach to Chardonnay, which enhances the richness of the Mâconnais terroirs.

Tasting
The Mâcon-Solutré-Pouilly "Au Rompay" from Domaine Trouillet is a charming and expressive Chardonnay grown on limestone soils at the foot of the Roche de Solutré. The wine displays a pale gold color with light green reflections. The nose is bright and aromatic, featuring fresh citrus, pear, green apple, and floral hints (hawthorn, acacia). On the palate, it impresses with its lively freshness, precision, and straightforward character. The texture is crisp and clean, with a mineral-driven, thirst-quenching finish.
Food pairings
This bright, energetic white is perfect with seafood, oysters, grilled or steamed fish, summer salads, vegetable tarts, or fresh goat cheeses. Serve well chilled, between 10 and 12°C, to enjoy its full brightness.
