Jean Rijckaert, Pouilly-Fuissé 2023 White

Jean Rijckaert Pouilly-Fuissé 2023 is a rich and full-bodied white Burgundy that balances ripe fruit and oak-derived complexity with the finesse expected from this renowned Mâconnais appellation. Made from Chardonnay, it reflects Jean Rijckaert’s precise, terroir-focused approach and the domaine’s long-standing commitment to expressing the character of southern Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright golden colour. On the nose, it offers generous aromas of ripe orchard and stone fruit, complemented by notes of toast and subtle cedarwood. The palate is full and textured, with well-integrated oak, rounded fruit and a refined freshness that keeps the wine balanced rather than heavy. Enjoyable now for its combination of richness and finesse, the 2023 vintage should develop additional harmony and complexity over the next few years when properly cellared. Its structure makes it suitable for medium-term ageing.

Production
Pouilly-Fuissé is produced in the limestone- and clay-influenced hills of the Mâconnais, a terroir particularly well suited to Chardonnay. The available information does not specify the individual vineyard sites, harvesting method or exact vinification details for this cuvée; however, Jean Rijckaert’s wines are handled with careful attention from harvest through bottling, with the aim of preserving both fruit purity and regional character.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Its richness and polished texture make it an excellent match for roast chicken, veal in a creamy sauce, grilled or baked fish, shellfish, and mildly seasoned poultry dishes. It also works beautifully with Comté or other mature, nutty cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but a short period of aeration in the glass—or 15–20 minutes in a decanter—can help reveal its ripe fruit and toasty nuances.

Producer
Jean Rijckaert began making wine in the Mâconnais in 1990 and founded Domaine Rijckaert in 1998. His passion for distinctive terroirs led him to establish holdings in both southern Burgundy and the Jura, with separate cellars in Davayé and Villette-Les-Arbois so that each wine can be made close to its vineyards. Since meeting in 2013, Jean Rijckaert and Florent Rouve have shared the domaine’s precise, hands-on vision, with Florent gradually taking over the winemaking responsibilities. Alongside estate fruit, the domaine also works with carefully selected purchased grapes, handling them from harvest to bottling themselves.
