Mâcon Domaine Barraud

Our committee's review

A benchmark estate in the Mâconnais, awarded two stars by the prestigious French wine guide the RVF, Domaine Barraud is an essential reference. The meticulous care devoted to both the vineyards and the cellar, combined with organic farming and the expertise of Julien and Anaïs Barraud, elevates their wines to the pinnacle of the appellation. These are age-worthy white wines, distinguished by their precision and impeccable balance.

One of the most reliable and unmissable estates in the Mâconnais today—perfectly illustrated by these two wines, highly acclaimed by the Selection Committee!

A pure delight, the 2023 White Mâcon-Fuissé Les Chailles offers a flawless expression of Chardonnay, striking the perfect balance between energy, ripeness, and finesse. The nose is elegant and precise, with delicate floral aromas, showcasing the beautiful ripeness of the harvest and a distinct mineral backbone. On the palate, the wine is lively and refreshing, with a bright, pure profile supported by a subtle, well-judged aging process. Its vibrant freshness makes it effortlessly enjoyable, whether as an apéritif or paired with seafood or goat cheeses. An outstanding value, rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee.

Sourced from 40- to 60-year-old vines, the 2023 White Pouilly-Fuissé Les Châtaigniers Vieilles Vignes offers a captivating expression of Chardonnay on limestone soils. The concentrated, creamy nose unfolds with a mix of chalky minerality and toasted notes, immediately drawing you in. The oak aging is present yet refined, adding depth without overpowering the wine’s natural elegance. On the palate, it is generous and full-bodied, reflecting its beautiful ripeness with both concentration and finesse. A brief aeration upon opening allows it to fully reveal its character. This wine will evolve gracefully over the next six years and beyond. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee.
