Our committee's review
A top name in the Mâconnais with 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Domaine Barraud is an essential reference. The high standards applied to the vines and in the cellar, the commitment to organic farming, and the meticulous care of Julien Barraud and his sister Anaïs elevate their cuvées to the pinnacle of the appellation. These are exceptional white wines for aging, known for their balance and precision.
Today, this estate is one of the most reliable and essential names in the Mâconnais. The proof is in these two cuvées, highly praised by the Selection Committee!
The 2022 White Mâcon-Chaintré Les Pierres Polies already offers complete satisfaction! This is a pure, fresh Chardonnay with dominant floral notes and hints of almond. Its restrained aging complements the ripe fruit, delivering a fresh, balanced wine with a subtle bitterness on the finish. Enjoy this cuvée in the coming months, paired with escargot or gougères. Excellent value for money. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee.
Showing great aging potential, the 2022 White Pouilly-Fuissé Les Châtaigniers Vieilles Vignes already offers an exciting expression of Chardonnay on limestone soils. From vines aged 40 to 60 years, this wine reveals a ripe, floral nose with a beautiful chalky touch and refined oak influence. The palate reflects this maturity, bringing richness and elegance, all enhanced by expertly managed aging. It will benefit from an additional 6 months to a year to fully integrate its elements. A true success! Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee.
A standout from the Mâconnais, and a Selection Committee favorite!
