Elegant and full of charm, this white wine has a colour ranging from pale to deep gold, flecked with green. Different families of aromas make up the bouquet: mineral notes (silex), almond and hazelnut, citrus notes (lemon, grapefruit, and pineapple), white fruits (peaches), bracken, acacia, breadcrumbs, buttered brioche, and honey. In the mouth it is possible to discern the differences between wines from different plots. The texture is opulent, and the structure, thanks partly to the wine’s natural richness, is full of flavour. It is by nature delicate and distinguished. This wine is not to be confused with the Pouilly-Fumé, which comes from the banks of the Loire River.
White: straightforward, rich and complex, it has a characteristic hint of minerality which allows it to partner noble crustaceans (king prawns, lobster, crawfish) as well as foie gras. With acidity and smoothness sonicely in balance, it goes well with white meats such as veal or poultry in cream sauce, as well as many varieties of goat’s cheese. Its aromatic power means it can also match spicy and perfumed exotic dishes such as couscous, fish tajines, or sweet-and-sour prawns. Sushi is also enhanced by its minerality.
Serving temperature: 11 to 13°C.
The rocky outcrops of Solutré and Vergisson, emblematic of these vineyards, remind us that from a height of 500 metres, 200 million years of history is looking down on us! Indeed, 20,000 years ago one of the most fully evolved prehistoric cultures flourished here. This AOC, instituted in 1936, takes in the four villages of Solutré-Pouilly, Fuissé, Vergisson and Chaintré.
Lying on a foundation of fossiliferous limestone identical to those found further north in the Côte-d’Or, the Bajocien escarpments of Solutré and Vergisson owe their dramatic profile to the presence of hard fossil corals which have resisted erosion. The vines are planted on the slopes and at the foot of these two hills on clay-limestone soils of Jurassic origin mixed with scree from up-slope and, in one spot, schist. The hillsides are cut into by little steep-sided streams which give the slopes an easterly or south-easterly exposure. Altitudes: 200 to 300 metres.

Fabien Guerrin joined his parents 5 years ago and is gradually taking over the estate, located on the heights of Vergisson in Southern Burgundy, in the Mâconnais wine region.
Between the rocks of Solutré and Vergisson, the Guerrin family estate is constantly looking for finesse, purity and balance in its great white wines of Burgundy. Very attached to traditional viticulture, mainly manual, and respectful of the environment.
Among the qualities in the vineyard property's management, it is worth noting that the soil is ploughed, which allows the roots to go down to depth, controlled yields and manual thinning allow the Chardonnay to be offered ideal conditions for ripeness.
Manual harvesting combined with slow and natural vinification, carried out thanks to the yeasts naturally present in the grapes, allow the soul and authenticity of the terroir of each wine to be preserved.
The wine is aged on lees in oak barrels and lasts from 11 to 12 months depending on the vintage and the typicity of the terroir.
