The J.J. Vincent Pouilly-Fuissé Marie Antoinette 2022 stands as a profound testament to the power of a top vintage and a unique terroir. This special cuvée, crafted from a select parcel of old Chardonnay vines, is a magnificent and serious expression of its Mâconnais origins. The 2022 vintage has been met with resounding critical praise, earning a superb 93 points from James Suckling for its “creamy texture and a long, energetic finish” and a strong 92 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate for its “beautiful wine…exhibiting notes of citrus oil, white flowers, and crushed stone.”
In the glass, this Chardonnay pours a brilliant golden hue, hinting at a palate of remarkable depth and grace. The bouquet is a captivating blend of ripe white peaches, green apples, and lemon curd, gracefully seasoned with subtle notes of white flowers and an invigorating hint of crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is both vibrant and full-bodied, with a lively core of fruit framed by a racy acidity and a remarkable textural presence. The finish is long, clean, and beautifully detailed, a testament to its exceptional quality. This is a wine that delivers a genuine, unadulterated taste of a classic white Burgundy at a tremendous value.
