In the limestone hills below the Roche de Solutré, one vigneron tends his Chardonnay by hand and by lunar calendar — coaxing a wine that speaks quietly of quince, orchard fruit and stone.

About This Wine
DAVID FAGOT is a small, independent estate in the village of Fuissé, in the heart of the Mâconnais. Founded in 2001 by David Fagot, the domaine farms vineyards across Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly and Prissé using organic methods, plant-based treatments and a lunar calendar, with vines tended by hand from planting to harvest.
This Pouilly-Fuissé is made entirely from Chardonnay grown on clay-limestone soils typical of the appellation. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and bottled without added sulphites, it reflects the ripe, balanced character of the 2023 vintage — a year Burgundy's wine bureau described overall as rich and opulent, without excess.

Read the relevant passageAt the table
The wine's mineral structure and gentle richness make it a natural match across several culinary traditions.
Ripe orchard fruit, mineral tension and a long finish give it enough weight to stand up to richer preparations while retaining the freshness to suit lighter, seafood-focused dishes.
Japanese
- Grilled shrimp (ebi shioyaki style)
- Steamed white fish in a light broth
- Seafood served with a delicate cream or dashi-based sauce
Why it worksThe wine's minerality and moderate richness echo the delicate umami of lightly prepared seafood, without overwhelming its subtlety.
Thai
- Garlic-steamed prawns
- Mild tom kha gai
- Lemongrass-steamed white fish
Why it worksRipe fruit and a mineral backbone balance the coconut, garlic and citrus notes typical of these dishes, while the wine's structure keeps pace with their gentle spice.
Western
- Lobster or langoustine
- Poultry in a cream sauce
- Goat cheese
Why it worksThe producer describes this wine's richness and mineral structure as able to stand up to buttery shellfish, creamy poultry preparations and the tang of goat cheese.
From cellar to bottle
Winemaking
Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts. According to the estate's usual approach, the wine is then aged on its lees and undergoes malolactic fermentation. No sulphites are added.
