Château des Rontets Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Birbettes’ 2022
Review
Claire Gazeau and Fabio Montrasi abandoned their careers as architects in Paris in the late 1990s to take over Gazeau’s family estate in the warm, hilly Mâcconais. This bottling comes from the acclaimed Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, from vines that date as far back as the 1920s. That small yield and concentration of fruit come through in the wine with vibrant notes of white flowers, lemon curd, and lime zest. The palate presents a beautiful tension between richness and acidity, with roasted orchard fruit, spice, and vanilla, complemented by a bright mineral core.
