Winemaker Notes

Clos Reyssie draws its strength and personality from the rich and deep clay residue of its terroir. Its fruit-filled, well-ripened personality enhances its smooth yellow peach and exotic fruit aromas. Happiest when side by side with a delightful menu, it is tireless in its efforts to dazzle poultry in cream, fish in sauce... as well as hearty appetites!

    The 2011 Pouilly-Fuisse Clos Reyssie comes from a bona fide clos with more clayey soils than Cornin’s other cuvees. It has a fragrant, nicely defined bouquet with touches of white peach and brioche. The palate is a little fuller than the other Pouilly-Fuisse wines from Cornin thanks to maturation in the Burgundy barrel, but the finish has fine definition and tension. Very fine.

    From vines planted in 1937 on a slope above Chaintre, this is farmed by Dominique and Romain Cornin under biodynamic principles. They produced a lean Pouilly-Fuisse in 2011, with notes of chamomile, yeasty bread and dried fruit. It feels soft and mature, ready to drink with grilled salmon or roast pork.

The individual vineyards of this Estate represent the legacy of the Cornins’ family history in the Mâconnais. Founded in 1993 by Dominique Cornin, his son, Romain now leads the estate. One of the youngest of a new generation of wine producers, Romain’s knowledge is widely admired by his peers, having studied under his father, the Macon producer, Verget, and in the United States and New Zealand.

The domaine comprises 12,5 hectares over the villages of Chaintré, Fuissé, and Chanes. The individual vineyards of this Domaine are an apt reflection of the Cornin family. Les Chevrières is a one and a half hectares plot produced for the Hospices de Beaune and elevated to 1er Cru status in 2020. Clos Reyssié bears fruit from the same vines his great-great-grandfather set out in 1938. The centenarian parcel in Les Serreudières reaches even deeper into the Cornin’s roots in Mâcon.

Certified organic in 2003, the Cornins use biodynamic farming methods, and their singular objective is to give each of their vineyards the best chance to express its terroir. The harvest is by hand, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks and the single-vineyard wines aged in used oak barrels and demi-muids. Intervention is kept to a minimum here, the grapes are guided from vine to bottle with gravity flow, and the wines are neither fined nor filtered. The Cornin wines show purity and elegance while expressing their origins, which are the guiding principles of this estate.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Pouilly-Fuissé Wine

Maconnais, Burgundy

The source of some of the most sought-after white wines of the Mâconnais, Pouilly-Fuissé is produced exclusively from the Chardonnay grape and tends to be slightly richer in style than wines from its northern neighbor, the Côte de Beaune—mainly due to warmer weather. Wines from Pouilly-Fuissé have some versatility; they can be enjoyed young and can also often improve with a little time in the cellar. Pouilly-Fuissé wines are considered some of the best values for white Burgundy.

Similar to the Côte de Beaune, the soils of Pouilly-Fuissé are mainly limestone and clay. The appellation includes the communes of Fuissé, Solutré (which includes Pouilly), Vergisson and Chaintré. The richest Chardonnay comes from Fuissé and Solutré-Pouilly, whereas the Chardonnay at higher elevation, from Vergisson, expresses more minerality and finesse. Pairing Pouilly-Fuissé with lobster or King Crab will bring great joy not only to your palate—but also your pocketbook!
