Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Domaine Cordier Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Les Ménétrières 2022 is a premium French white Burgundy from the Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru appellation in the Mâconnais. Made from Chardonnay, this wine shows the richer, more generous side of southern Burgundy while keeping the freshness, minerality, and elegance expected from high-quality Pouilly-Fuissé. Domaine Cordier’s own listing identifies this wine as Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Les Ménétrières, made from Chardonnay.

Les Ménétrières is one of the recognized Premier Cru climates of Pouilly-Fuissé. A Burgundy producer page for the same Premier Cru site notes that Les Ménétrières sits above the village of Fuissé, on a steep south-east-facing slope, in a historic Chardonnay-growing area.

The wine offers aromas of ripe citrus, lemon, pear, white peach, yellow apple, white flowers, hazelnut, subtle oak, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is dry, elegant, and textured, with creamy Chardonnay fruit, fresh acidity, fine mineral structure, and a long refined finish. Pouilly-Fuissé is produced exclusively from Chardonnay and is often slightly richer in style than many northern Burgundy whites due to the warmer Mâconnais climate.

This is a strong choice for customers looking for a premium white Burgundy with richness, freshness, and food-friendly elegance. Serve it with lobster, scallops, grilled fish, seafood in butter sauce, roast chicken, creamy pasta, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, soft cheese, and refined French-style meals.
