Domaine des 3 Dames Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru 2020

The Domaine des 3 Dames Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru 2020 is a wine that makes an immediate impression — refined, rich, and effortlessly elegant. In the glass, it shines with a deep golden hue, as if it captures the light itself. From the very first swirl, it opens generously, revealing ripe aromas of white peach, pineapple, and citrus blossom, followed by subtle hints of honey, toasted hazelnut, and a touch of vanilla.

The nose is complex yet precise, never heavy or overwhelming. There’s a tension here — a quiet balance between ripeness and freshness, luxury and restraint. That same energy carries through to the palate. The first sip feels broad and full, with a silky texture that glides effortlessly. Yet beneath that richness runs a fine thread of minerality that keeps everything vibrant and alive. The flavors unfold in layers: juicy fruit at first, then a touch of creaminess, and finally a refined saline note that lingers beautifully on the finish.

The 2020 vintage brought generous ripeness and concentration, but at Domaine des 3 Dames, that power has been handled with remarkable finesse. The result is not a heavy or opulent wine, but one that walks the line between warmth and precision. The oak is perfectly judged — present but never dominant, adding structure without overshadowing the fruit.

The name Les 3 Dames refers to the three women who lead this family-run estate. Their influence is unmistakable: careful vineyard work, deep respect for the land, and a commitment to creating wines that speak with authenticity. This Pouilly-Fuissé carries that philosophy in every glass — pure, balanced, and full of quiet character.

It’s a wine that doesn’t seek to impress, yet it does so effortlessly. There’s calm, balance, and grace in every detail — the kind of Burgundian expression that reminds you why Chardonnay from this corner of the world remains timeless: layered, luminous, and utterly captivating.
