Presentation
Domaine Trouillet Lebeau, located in Solutré-Pouilly in the southern part of Burgundy, was founded in the early 20th century. Today, it is managed by Marie-Agnès Trouillet and her son William, the fifth generation of the family. With 19.5 hectares under sustainable farming, the estate covers nearly all the major appellations of the Mâconnais: Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon-Solutré, and Viré-Clessé. The vines are meticulously tended, with ploughing and natural grass cover to encourage biodiversity and microbial life in the soils. In the cellar, fermentations rely exclusively on indigenous yeasts, and the wines are aged on fine lees in vats or barrels, depending on the potential of each cuvée. Dominated by Chardonnay, the wines show remarkable aromatic richness, blending white fruit, floral notes, and a touch of minerality, all within a broad and persistent palate. The estate’s hallmark lies in its constant pursuit of balance between structure and tension a true expression of the authenticity of Burgundian Chardonnay.

Tasting
This “Les Villages” Pouilly-Fuissé by Famille Trouillet Lebeau stands out for its refinement and its full expression of the marl-limestone terroir of the Mâconnais. Pale gold with bright reflections, the nose is complex, blending yellow fruits (peach, apricot), ripe citrus, and subtle buttery and oaky nuances that are perfectly integrated. On the palate, it combines lively acidity with a silky texture; the fresh, zesty character brings lift, while a fine saline minerality provides structure. The finish is long and elegant, marked by almond and light brioche notes. A gastronomic white well-balanced, harmonious, and full of finesse.
