We continue our theme of summary wines with Domaine Thomas 2016, a wonderful Pouilly-Fuissé. Run by three generations of the Thomas family, the Domaine Feuillarde occupies an exceptional site on stoney clay-limestone, shaped like an amphitheatre with nearly all the vines growing in an arc around the estate, which enjoys views out to such Burgundian icons as the precipitous Rock of Solutré and Vergisson. The winemaker, Lucien Thomas, works with meticulousness and aims for perfection, progressively lowering yields over the years, designed to give high quality, distinct and generous wines.


This delicious 100% chardonnay is notable for its precision and mineral expression, with vanilla aromas, almond roast and a hint of toast from the well-integrated oak. In the mouth, it is fresh and racy with good acidity and a long finish. A pin-point and elegant wine.
