Château des Rontets, Pouilly-Fuissé Les Birbettes 2021
White Wine from France - Burgundy
This has an aroma of ripe, peachy fruit and a pleasant hint of smoke from the oak. The palate is creamy and concentrated, derived from the old vines which give less but better grapes. Rontets` top wine comes from a vineyard originally planted in the 1920s, with some replanting since. It is given about 20 months` maturation in pièces. Drink from 2026 to 2030.

Château des Rontets
The young owners of this charming domaine, Claire & Fabio Gazeau-Montrasi met while working as architects in Milan. The old house amid the vines, overlooking the village of Fuissé, came to Claire from her mother and grandparents, and the maternal family name of Varambon lives on in one of the cuvées produced here. Fabio, who reckons disarmingly that Claire was always the better architect, embraced with gusto the opportunity of working with soil rather than concrete. He is a committed fan of sustainability and the estate has been certified organic since 2005.
The vines face north, on a ridge between Pouilly and Vergisson. All wines are fermented in wood, some foudres and some pièces, but not new except in case of Birbettes, using only indigenous yeasts and keeping sulphur to a minimum, as Fabio believes it can mask the subtleties in terroirs.
The Rontets style is a mouthwatering one, crisp and racy, but well-rounded too and discreetly oaked. Clos Varambon comes from 40 year old vines, and is a fine, silky, balanced style and elegant with a long, long finish. Pierrefolle comes from more granitic soils with little or no chalk, and is fuller bodied. Birbettes comes from the oldest vines and has a richness and intensity that is quite remarkable.
