Domaine des 3 Dames Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru 2022 – Burgundy Mâconnais Premier Cru Chardonnay

Domaine des 3 Dames is a small-scale, artisanal winery located in the Mâconnais region of southern Burgundy, where Chardonnay takes center stage. The estate is dedicated to terroir-driven winemaking, focusing on precision, balance, and purity of expression. The limestone-rich soils of Pouilly-Fuissé, combined with a favorable microclimate, produce white wines with tension, depth, and refined minerality. Careful vinification and oak aging are used to enhance elegance rather than weight.

The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru is a rich yet refined Burgundy Chardonnay with a clear Premier Cru identity. On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe peach, pineapple, and citrus, layered with hints of honey, white flowers, toasted nuts, and vanilla. Lees aging and oak maturation add complexity and a subtle creamy texture.

On the palate, the wine is full and layered, yet always balanced by fresh acidity and a distinct mineral backbone. The texture is smooth and rounded, with waves of ripe fruit, gentle toast, and a long, elegant finish where freshness and complexity meet.

This 1er Cru is a classic high-level expression of Pouilly-Fuissé: richness without heaviness, finesse without sharp edges. It pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as scallops, lobster, turbot, creamy risottos, or poultry with delicate sauces.
