    Description Pouilly-Fuissé "Les Birbettes"

    Estate

    Château des Rontets is a well-established estate in the Mâconnais region, known for producing high-quality wines under the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. The traditional craftsmanship allows a true expression of the Burgundian terroir's potential.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Mâconnais area, the vineyard benefits from typical limestone soils that add finesse and elegance to the wines. The temperate climate, with warm summers and mild winters, promotes optimal ripening of the Chardonnay grapes.

    Wine

    The Pouilly-Fuissé Château des Rontets 2021 is a classic white wine of its appellation, combining freshness, aromatic complexity, and a pleasant texture on the palate. It accurately reflects the characteristics of Chardonnay from this specific terroir.

    Vintage

    The 2021 vintage provided favorable climatic conditions with a mild spring and warm summer, allowing a good balance between grape maturity and freshness. This vintage promises balanced, aromatic, and elegant wines.

    Vinification & Aging

    Careful vinification is carried out to preserve the aromatic purity of the Chardonnay. Aging in oak barrels, partially new, brings roundness and subtle vanilla notes without overshadowing the fruit's freshness.

    Grape Variety

    Chardonnay
