2024 Eve & Michel Rey Pouilly Fuissé En Carmentrant BIO

The 2024 Eve & Michel Rey Pouilly-Fuissé En Carmentrant BIO is a refined, terroir-driven white Burgundy that showcases the purity and precision of organically grown Chardonnay in the Mâconnais. Sourced from the single vineyard En Carmentrant, this cuvée captures the tension between ripeness and minerality that has made Pouilly-Fuissé one of Burgundy’s most sought-after appellations. Certified organic (BIO), it offers a clean, unadorned expression of place, crafted by a small, quality-focused estate.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pouilly-Fuissé presents a bright, pale straw color with glints of green, signaling its youth and freshness. The nose opens delicately at first, then broadens into layers of citrus zest, white flowers, and just-ripe stone fruit, with hints of crushed seashells and a subtle, chalky undertone that hints at the limestone-rich soils. On the palate, the 2024 vintage is crisp, linear, and pure, with lemon, green apple, and white peach framed by a fine, saline minerality. There’s a gentle creaminess at the core, balanced by vibrant acidity that keeps the wine lively and precise. Subtle notes of almond and a whisper of brioche may emerge with a bit of air, reflecting careful élevage rather than overt oak. While this wine is very approachable in its youth for its brightness and energy, it has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 3–6 years, developing more complexity and textural depth with time in bottle.

Production
En Carmentrant is a well-situated site in Pouilly-Fuissé, characterized by limestone and clay soils that naturally limit yields and enhance mineral tension in the wines. Farmed organically, the vineyard is tended without synthetic herbicides or pesticides, with an emphasis on soil health and biodiversity to encourage deep-rooted vines and balanced ripening. Harvesting is typically done by hand to preserve berry integrity and allow for strict selection in the vineyard. In the cellar, Eve & Michel Rey favor a gentle, low-intervention approach: careful pressing of whole clusters, cold settling of the must, and a ferment carried out with a focus on preserving freshness and aromatic detail. Aging usually takes place in tank and/or older barrels to add texture without masking the clarity of fruit and the distinct character of the Pouilly-Fuissé terroir.

Food & Serving
This Pouilly-Fuissé is a versatile partner at the table, excelling with simply prepared seafood such as grilled sea bass, sole meunière, scallops, or oysters, as well as roast chicken, veal in light cream sauces, and delicate dishes featuring mushrooms or fresh goat cheese. It also pairs beautifully with sushi, sashimi, and vegetable-driven cuisine where subtlety and freshness are key. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to highlight its precision and aromatic lift; slightly cooler for an aperitif, and closer to 12°C with food to let the texture unfold. Decanting is not essential, but a brief 15–20 minutes in a carafe or in the glass can help the wine open and reveal more of its floral and mineral complexity, especially in its first few years.
