Eric Forest Macon Pierreclos “Clos des Charmes” 2024

Eric Forest is a small, highly regarded grower based in Vergisson, in the heart of Pouilly-Fuissé in the southern Mâconnais. Pierreclos is a village just to the north-west, and Clos des Charmes is a walled vineyard with some remarkably old vines.

60% of the vines are nearly 100 years old, and the rest were planted mostly in 1992. The wine spends 12 months in barrel (20% new) with no racking or bâtonnage, then 5 months in stainless steel, and is bottled without filtration. The result is a Mâcon with real depth and texture.

Serve with: roast chicken, scallops, white fish in butter sauce or Comté.
