Bouchié-Chatellier have been on their estate since 1930. Robert Poirier established La Renardière domaine close to a small wood where foxes lived, hence the name of the domaine Renard. He was a pioneer with a passion for modernism and a firm believer in the success of Pouilly-Fumé. He expanded the estate over the years and opened a wine bar "Au Pouilly", in Nevers. Eugene Bouchie bought a vineyard from the neighbouring Château, on the same Saint Andelain hill where the soils are composed of flinty clay and limestone.
Domaine Bouchie-Chatellier Pouilly-Fume Pierre a Fusil is made from selected plots grown on the shelly, flinty, kimmeridgian clay of the Saint-Andelain hill overlooking the Loire river. These plots are vinified separately and gently using gravity feeding and low temperatures to settle the must. Fermentation takes places over three weeks under regulated temperatures, followed by time on the fine lees.
Pierre à Fusil - as the name suggests has enticing gun-flint aromas on the nose, followed by a rounded, textural, lees-influenced palate. Elegant, refined and easy drinking.
