A beautiful medium bodied Chardonnay, one of the nicest we have tried in this price category in a long time. The texture is creamy and mouthcoating with lingering and intense flavours of lemon, Granny Smith apple and grapefruit. It's a wine you will return to again and again. . A rising star in a very traditional region, Alexis started making his own wines aged just 21 years old and immediately caught the attention of Decanter and other leading wine publications. Alexis works biodynamically and his wines are made in a vibrant, non-oaky style with that classic grapey Maconnais purity. A fifth generation of the winemaking family, he is making his own wines from small parcels of land he received from his father.

Winemaking: Slow pressing. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts, at low temperature. The wine is made using 50% oak (using 2-4 year old barrels) and 50% stainless steel. The oak is very subtle. Elévage: In stainless steel vats on fine lees for 11 months. Malolactic fermentation. Light filtration at bottling; usually end of August before the next harvest. Taste: Giroux believes in allowing the wine to age on its lees for a period, depending on the vintage. His 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé is full, rich, ripe (vintage expression), ample and savoury in style. The fruit combines citrus & mild tropical nuances of peach and pear. The texture is soft, generous and round. The finish is both long and very satisfying.

Philippe Milan et Fils' Pommard hails from a vineyard near Volnay, offering an elegant and refined style rather than sheer power. The palate is generous with cherry and strawberry notes, complemented by well-integrated oak. The finish is long and juicy, with lingering chewy tannins. This wine, made from 100% Pinot Noir and aged in oak (25% new), leans towards a "vin de garde" style, meant for aging. It pairs beautifully with food or benefits from some time in a decanter.Domaine Philippe Milan et Fils was founded in the 1950s, at only 11-hectares, they primarily sell 90% of its production within France. Karl-Philippe practices lutte raisonnée in the vineyards, using minimal or no new oak to maintain the lively fruitiness of the wines. The proximity of their Pommard parcel to Volnay is evident in its structure and style, reminiscent of Volnay's finesse and complexity.
