    Description

    Domaine Robert Denogent, located in Fuissé in the heart of the Mâconnais region of Southern Burgundy, brilliantly embodies the excellence of great white Pouilly-Fuissé wines. Run by a family of passionate winemakers, this discreet estate has established itself as one of the appellation's leading producers thanks to its artisanal and plot-by-plot approach. The 2022 "La Croix" cuvée is a vibrant expression of this, authentically revealing the nobility of the limestone terroirs. Rigorous work in the vineyard, low yields, and precise winemaking result in wines of great purity, combining freshness, structure, and depth.

    Notes and pairings

    Notes and pairings

    Tasting notes

    Robert Denogent has crafted a Pouilly-Fuissé with a shimmering, pale gold hue. The nose reveals subtle notes of white flowers, candied lemon, and flint. On the palate, the attack is precise, supported by a lovely mineral freshness. The well-integrated oak aging adds volume without weighing the wine down. The mouthwatering and persistent finish leaves a chalky sensation that begs for a second sip.

    Food & wine pairings

    Ideal with sole meunière, langoustine risotto or mature goat cheese.

    Producer

    Producer

    Robert Denogent's vineyard unfolds across the limestone and clay-limestone slopes of Fuissé, on the hillside, benefiting from excellent southeast exposure. The vines in the "La Croix" plot are several decades old, deeply rooted in poor, well-drained soil that promotes concentrated grapes. The viticultural approach is respectful of the soil and the vine, employing sustainable farming practices to faithfully express the terroir's identity.

    Owner and history

    Today managed by Nicolas Denogent, the estate perpetuates the family and artisanal spirit that built its reputation. Passionate and meticulous, he treats each plot as a unique vintage. His intuitive approach blends observation, respect for nature, and minimal intervention. His exacting standards in aging and his pursuit of expressiveness make each cuvée a true expression of its place. He follows a sincere approach, going against the grain of conventional methods, to reveal the soul of the Burgundy terroir.

    Vinification and aging

    At Domaine Robert Denogent, winemaking is natural, without added yeast or chaptalization, respecting each vintage. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by extended aging on fine lees without stirring.
    The La Croix 2022 vintage benefited from 18 months of aging in old barrels, giving the wine a beautiful aromatic complexity, depth and a silky texture without masking the brightness of the fruit or the mineral tension.
