2024 Eve & Michel Rey Pouilly Fuissé Sur La Roche

Eve and Michel Rey run this small domaine together in the beautiful village of Vergisson, situated between the Roche de Vergisson and the Roche de Solutré. They do all the work in the cellar and the vineyard themselves and therefore know every vine. As a winemaker, Michel is exceptionally eager to learn, and Eve is extremely perfectionistic. This is probably why the wines from this relatively young winery have improved significantly in recent years. No insecticides or pesticides are used, the soil is worked year-round with respect for nature, and the grapes are hand-picked and transported in small crates. What delicious and young, drinkable wines for this price!

Eve and Michel Rey care for their vines as naturally as possible, and because they have so few vineyards, they can tend to all of them by hand. They use only organic treatments, if any are necessary at all, and plow the soil instead of using herbicides.

Grapes are crushed as whole bunches in a gentle pneumatic press and fermented with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Wines are aged for a minimum of 10 months in primarily used French oak barrels. Very little sulfur is added at every stage; and wines are bottled unfiltered.

The Pouilly Fuisse sur la Roche has a refined, elegant nose with aromas of yellow fruit and spices (tarragon), as well as some vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, the initial taste is full and slightly buttery, but what stands out most is the long and mineral finish. If you are looking for a complete, high-quality Pouilly Fuisse at a fine price, made without toxins, pesticides, or artificial fertilizers, we can highly recommend the Eve & Michel Rey Pouilly Fuisse sur la Roche. The nose is complex and rich with a floral dominance. The aging notes, from fairly integrated oak, remain underlying and contribute to the overall intensity of this wine.

The power on the palate remains quite impressive. As they say, 'this wine smells like stones,' and that is truly what is happening here: strong minerality, intense toasting that pairs perfectly, and a citrus-mandarin finish complete the picture.
