Domaine Carrette Macon Solutre-Pouilly

"Nathalie and her husband Hervé are blessed with 16 hectares spread across Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon Milly-Lamartine, and Mâcon Solutré, all of which are now certified organic with the 2023 vintage. Hervé is constantly at work in their vines, strictly devoted to grass and pest management, and following a rigorous green harvest to control yields for optimal concentration and balance. In the cellar, Nathalie works only with native, wild yeast fermentations for vinification parcellaire, and ages their whites in a combination of Demi-muids, larger oval foudres, and barriques from Radoux, Rousseau, and Berthomieu for up to 24 months for her Premier Crus, with a maximum of only 10% new oak for the top Premier Cru sites."-France + Western 

Domaine Carrette's Macon Solutre-Pouilly is a perfect entry point into the house style of Nathalie and Hervé. It boasts a creamy texture, but shows the bright mineralic character that serious Maconnais wines are known for. Stewed apple, yellow peach, florals of acacia blossom, and layer upon layer of generosity.
