2022 | Domaine Sangouard-Guyot | Pouilly-Fuisse Authentique

This is also quite smoky with its notes of mineral reduction, white flowers and abundance of citrus elements. The finer if not denser medium weight flavors also possess an appealing mouthfeel along with no lack of punch that carries over to the even more compact, clean and very dry finale.

Producer Information

The grandiose Roche de Vergisson, its panorama of sloping vineyards, and open countryside skyline make for an impressive sight when standing at Domaine Sangouard-Guyot’s entrance. Pierre-Emmanuel assumed control of his grandfather’s estate in 1997, which merged with Catherine’s parents’ estate several years later. Each of them represents the fifth generation in the wine business. Today, they grow Chardonnay on 12 hectares, most of which lie in Pouilly-Fuissé, with smaller holdings located in other appellations of the Mâconnais region. With environmental concerns in mind, the domaine plans ahead to minimize spraying treatments. The soil receives greater aeration by plowing vines while making vital nutrients more accessible for root systems. Careful vine pruning improves air circulation and sun exposure in the vineyards, leading to higher rates of photosynthesis and grape ripening. All grapes are harvested by hand to select only the best in quality. Among the estate’s 34 individual plots, vineyards between the Roche de Vergisson and Roche de Solutré benefit from a south and southeast exposure, maximizing sunlight and warmth for the vines. Chardonnay thrives on the clay-limestone soils here to become distinctive bright, mineral-driven wines. Domaine Sangouard-Guyot believes, “The diversity of our terroir dictates that we vinify every single parcel according to its character.” The grapes’ slow, gentle pressing ensures juice with desirable aroma, flavor, and color compounds. Depending on the individual wine, vinification may occur in thermo-regulated tanks, old barrels, or younger barrels after brief exposure to oxygen. Some wines undergo a period of lees aging and stirring before bottling, imparting a rounder, more opulent mouthfeel.
