Domaine Marcel Couturier, Pouilly-Loché Le Bourg, 2022

Domaine Marcel Couturier’s Pouilly-Loché Le Bourg 2022 is a finely judged Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most admired white wine appellations. Sourced from a prized site in Pouilly-Loché, it combines clarity, precision, and mineral depth with the kind of regional character that has made Burgundy such a benchmark for white wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a bright, pale gold color with a polished, youthful sheen. The nose is likely to be expressive yet refined, offering fresh orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers, and a subtle chalky or stony nuance that reflects its Burgundian origins. On the palate, the wine should feel vibrant and focused, with clean fruit, lively acidity, and a textured, mineral-driven finish. Chardonnay from this part of Burgundy often shows a beautiful balance between generosity and tension, and Le Bourg is well suited to developing additional complexity with a few years of cellaring.

Production
Pouilly-Loché sits in southern Burgundy, where Chardonnay benefits from limestone-rich soils and a climate that supports ripeness while preserving freshness. Le Bourg is a named site that typically emphasizes terroir expression, and the wine is generally produced with careful vineyard selection and a restrained vinification approach aimed at preserving purity, site character, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, veal, creamy seafood dishes, Dover sole, and soft cheeses such as Comté or aged goat’s cheese. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider brief aeration if the wine is showing especially tight on opening. Decanting is not usually necessary, but a short rest in the glass can help reveal its aromatics.
