Jean Rijckaert, Pouilly-Fuissé 2024 White

Jean Rijckaert Pouilly-Fuissé 2024 is a rich and generous white Burgundy that balances ripe fruit and texture with the finesse expected from this celebrated Mâconnais appellation. Crafted by a producer known for combining Burgundian precision with a deep appreciation for distinctive terroir, it offers an appealing expression of Chardonnay with both freshness and depth.

Tasting Notes
Bright and inviting in the glass, the wine presents an expressive nose of ripe orchard and stone fruit, complemented by subtle notes of toast and cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rounded, with a rich, mature-fruited character supported by refreshing finesse and a balanced finish. The 2024 vintage can be enjoyed for its youthful fruit and texture, while its richness and oak-influenced complexity should allow it to develop further over the next few years. Proper cellaring may reveal greater integration and additional nuances with time.

Production
Pouilly-Fuissé comes from the limestone- and clay-rich hills of the southern Burgundy Mâconnais, a terroir well suited to producing structured yet elegant Chardonnay. Jean Rijckaert’s Mâconnais wines are made at the domaine’s cellar in Davayé, allowing the team to work closely with the vineyards from harvest through bottling. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this cuvée have not been provided, but the house is known for precise, careful handling of both estate and carefully sourced grapes.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Its richness makes it an excellent match for roast chicken, grilled or pan-fried fish, seafood in a creamy sauce, lobster, mushroom dishes and moderately mature cheeses such as Comté. Decanting is not essential for this young vintage, though a brief 15–20 minutes in a carafe can help open the wine’s ripe fruit and subtle toasted aromas.

Producer
Jean Rijckaert founded Domaine Rijckaert in 1998 after beginning to make wine in the Mâconnais in 1990. A passionate Belgian with a strong belief in the potential of both Burgundy and Jura, he established holdings in the Mâconnais and later acquired vineyards in Arbois, with separate cellars in Davayé and Villette-lès-Arbois. Since meeting Florent Rouve in 2013, Rijckaert has gradually passed the winemaking responsibility to him; the two share a philosophy centred on precision, close attention to terroir and complete control from grape harvest to bottling.
