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. It is the blending of the two terroirs which gives the "La Renardière" cuvées their complexity. At the beginning of the century, the marriage of the children of these producers gave birth to the present domaine.
Domaine Bouchié-Chatellier Pouilly-Fumé ‘Premier Millésimé’ wine is a top drawer Pouilly-Fumé, elegant and full-flavoured! The top cuvée from Bouchié-Chatellier sourced from selected grapes grown on an outcrop of silex soil. Ripe, herbaceous aromas, nettle and dill, balanced by concentrated green fruit and crisp citrus acidity and some richness and structure afforded by extended skin contact. The wine will benefit from ageing for 4-5 years. Serve chilled (8°C) as an aperitif or with white fish served in a light sauce.
