Beaujolais-Villages Blanc, “Les Pouliches”

“Les Pouliches” (French for “the fillies”) is a reference to the youthful age of these vines—the newest plantings of the domaine, from 2013, in the communes of Leynes and Chânes. Aged for 11 months in stainless steel, this is rounder and richer than the Bourgogne Blanc, but still possesses the riveting focus and sense of just-so equilibrium that characterize all of the domaine’s white wines.
