The Society's Exhibition Pouilly-Fuissé 2020
White Wine from France - Burgundy
This gorgeous 2023 Wine Champion Burgundy owes its ‘broad but balanced’ palate to a clever blend of fruit – Fuissé, for breadth and power, Vergisson for freshness – and of tank and oak, new and used.

Maison Joseph Burrier
The Burrier family, who have lived in Burgundy for 500 years, own both Château de Beauregard in Pouilly-Fuissé and the négociant Maison Joseph Burrier, and have done so for six generations. The current generation in charge is Frédéric Burrier, who returned to the family business in 1999 after many years at Jadot. The charismatic, passionate and industrious Frédéric has done much to raise the quality bar in this tiny enclave of the southern Mâconnais. The family holds 22 hectares of Pouilly-Fuissé, 7 hectares in Saint-Véran and 12 hectares in Beaujolais.

In Fleurie, for instance, the vines are mostly at the highly respected Poncié site which borders Moulin-à-Vent, whereas in Moulin-à-Vent itself the family owns a superb vineyard called Les Petits Bois.

The Burriers’ 22 hectares of Pouilly-Fuissé vines are split between the three villages of Fuissé, ...
