The Vineyard

Domaine des Deux Roches is located in Davayé, between the iconic Roches de Solutré and Vergisson, two limestone formations that give their name to the winery and characterize the landscape of Pouilly-Fuissé.

The vineyards cover approximately 36 hectares, almost exclusively dedicated to Chardonnay and cultivated with profound respect for the environment. The calcareous soils and the temperate climate of Burgundy allow for grapes of great finesse, balance, and marked mineral expression.

Production

The harvest is carried out by carefully selecting the best plots of old vines.

Fermentation takes place entirely in French oak barrels, approximately 20% in 600-liter demi-muids and with less than 10% new wood, aiming to preserve the identity of the Chardonnay without the barrel dominating the overall profile.

Subsequently, the wine remains on its lees, gaining complexity, volume, and elegance.

Tasting Notes

It presents a brilliant golden yellow color with luminous reflections.

On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe white fruit, peach, pear, and citrus, accompanied by delicate floral notes, fresh butter, brioche, and subtle, perfectly integrated toasted hints.

On the palate, it is ample, silky, and very well-balanced. Ripe fruit combines with vibrant calcareous minerality and perfectly integrated acidity, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish.

Food Pairing

Ideal as an aperitif, with white fish, seafood, crustaceans, pasta, poultry, veal, fine cured meats, and soft or semi-hard cheeses.

Recommended serving temperature: between 11 and 13 ºC.

Deux Roches Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes 2023 brings together the tradition of Burgundy, the richness of old vines, and the precision of respectful winemaking. A refined, mineral, and gastronomic Chardonnay that authentically reflects one of France's great white terroirs.
