Tasting Note
Domaine Barraud Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Sur la Roche 2021 is concentrated, structured, and strikingly mineral. Aromas of ripe lemon, pear, white peach, and crushed stone are layered with subtle almond and flinty notes. The palate is powerful yet precise, delivering dense orchard fruit framed by vibrant acidity and a firm limestone spine. Textural and persistent, it finishes long with saline energy and depth—an authoritative, site-driven Chardonnay with serious presence.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Domaine Barraud is widely regarded as one of Pouilly-Fuissé’s top producers, known for meticulous farming and a terroir-first approach that helped earn Premier Cru recognition for the region’s best sites. Sur la Roche is among the domaine’s most intense vineyards, planted on shallow, rocky limestone soils that naturally limit yields and concentrate flavour. Fermented and aged with restrained oak, the wine emphasizes structure, minerality, and longevity. The 2021 vintage delivered freshness and definition, and critics consistently score Barraud’s Premier Crus in the low-to-mid 90s, often citing Sur la Roche as one of the most age-worthy and powerful expressions in the appellation. It stands as a benchmark example of serious, mineral-driven white Burgundy from the Mâconnais.
