Domaine Marcel Couturier, Pouilly Loché, 2022

Domaine Marcel Couturier’s Pouilly-Loché 2022 is a beautifully judged Burgundy white that captures why the Mâconnais is finally getting the attention it deserves. Made from Chardonnay grown on certified organic vines and handled with a light touch in the cellar, it offers impressive richness and depth without losing its sense of place.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, inviting golden hue. The nose is layered and expressive, with ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, and a hint of white flowers, lifted by a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is generous and rounded, with a creamy texture balanced by fresh acidity and a discreet stony nuance from the terroir. The oak is very well integrated, adding shape rather than dominance, and the finish is long, precise, and quietly saline. It should drink well now, but also has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next few years.

Production
The Pouilly-Loché cuvée comes from certified organic parcels in the Mâconnais, planted with Chardonnay vines around 35 years old. The soils of clay and schist help give the wine its combination of ripeness, texture, and a fine mineral tension. Vinification is deliberately restrained, with 11 months in French barriques, only 10% of which are new, allowing the fruit and terroir to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile and food-friendly Burgundy that shines with baked fish in a creamy white sauce, roast chicken with mushrooms, or simply alongside a well-chosen cheese course. Serve it lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, and there is no need to decant unless you want to give it a little extra air in its youth.

Producer
Domaine Marcel Couturier is a family estate rooted in the Mâconnais, where the Couturier family has cultivated vineyards for generations. Today Marcel Couturier leads the domaine under his own name, working around 11 hectares of Chardonnay across several appellations. The estate has earned attention for its generous yet terroir-driven style, and for helping to showcase the renewed quality and value of southern Burgundy white wines.
