Presentation
Founded by William Trouillet and Caroline Trouillet Lebeau, this estate is located at the foot of the Roche de Solutré, on the slopes of the Mâconnais. The clay-rich soils allow Chardonnay to develop great aromatic complexity. Vinification is done with minimal intervention to preserve the identity of the terroirs. Aging on fine lees gives the wines a full texture and beautiful persistence. Our major asset: a pure and refined expression of Chardonnay, enhanced by meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar.

Tasting
This Pouilly-Fuissé reveals a bright pale gold color. The nose is delicate and expressive, with notes of white fruits (pear, peach), white flowers, and fresh hazelnut. The palate is round and elegant, structured by refreshing acidity and precise minerality. Oak ageing is well integrated, contributing to a long, elegant, lightly toasted finish.
Food pairings
Ideal with grilled fish, seafood, white meats in sauce, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses such as Brie, Chaource, or Saint-Félicien.
