Domaine Laurent Cognard Pouilly-Loché 'Aux Barres': A Sophisticated White Burgundy

From the esteemed Domaine Laurent Cognard, the Pouilly-Loché 'Aux Barres' is a sophisticated and structured Chardonnay from the heart of the Mâconnais. This wine showcases the concentration and elegance possible in this southern Burgundy appellation, standing proudly alongside its more famous neighbours.

Crafted using methods designed to enhance both freshness and complexity-including partial aging in oak barrels-this expression from the 'Aux Barres' single vineyard is a profound and mineral-driven wine that speaks volumes of its clay-limestone soil. It's a superb example of a high-end, age-worthy White Burgundy.
