Domaine Auvigue Les Villages Pouilly-Fuisse — Serious Maconnais Chardonnay

Domaine Auvigue Les Villages Pouilly-Fuisse 2022 is a serious, terroir-driven white Burgundy from one of the Maconnais' most respected family estates — rich, textural and built with the depth and complexity that only great Pouilly-Fuisse can deliver. Les Villages is a specific lieu-dit designation within Pouilly-Fuisse — a step above standard appellation wine, sourced from select village parcels.

Tasting Notes

White peach, pear, lemon curd and subtle floral notes define the nose, with a fine mineral thread and gentle oak integration adding complexity and depth. The palate is generous and textural, with a long, focused finish driven by natural acidity. More presence and richness than standard Macon.

Food Pairing

The generous texture and lemon curd richness of the 2022 Domaine Auvigue Les Villages Pouilly-Fuisse make it a delightful match for Bare Bird Premium Free-Range Chicken Breast Steak from My Meat Man — pan-seared with a white wine and mushroom cream sauce or roasted with butter and tarragon, the tender free-range chicken is a magnificent match for the wine's white peach, lemon curd and Maconnais oak.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

A serious, terroir-driven Pouilly-Fuisse from a respected family estate. The richness and texture of great Maconnais Chardonnay, a specific lieu-dit designation a step above standard Pouilly-Fuisse.
