When people think of White Burgundy, they mostly think of the Montrachet and Meursault subregions. However, prices of these wines have increased just as much as for Red Burgundy, making these wines special occasion wines for most. A bit further south, as part of the Mâconnais subregion, is the appelation of Pouilly-Fuissé. Only Chardonnay is grown here, and offered at a fraction of the price of its more famous neighbours.
The 2021 Chartron et Trébuchet Pouilly-Fuissé is not a very complex Chardonnay, but it is very clean. Yellow flower scents are attractive on the nose. Stone fruits and lemon zest hit the palate first. The wine is enriched with oatmeal and hazelnut flavours, probably delivered by light to medium toasted oak. This is a good quality food wine, not too demanding on the palate.
