Similar to better-known Pouilly-Fuissé, this Macon Loché Village wine from Marcel Couturier is complex due to its old vines, limestone soils & oak ageing. It’s a silky smooth Burgundy white wine that combines freshness and complexity – grapefruit, yellow apple, quince, almonds, hints of honey and cream and light mineral & orange blossom notes

Sitting inbetween Pouilly Vinzelles and Pouilly Fuissé, Macon Loché shares the same chalky limestone soils and its wines are similar in style but a tad lighter and better value in comparison. Don’t assume the lighter style and the light lemon-gold colour of this wine mean a lack of character. Some Macon Villages wines are light in body and unoaked so have little complexity but this one has the advantage of coming from a plot of thirty five year-old vines and of being fermented and aged at least 11 months in oak before bottling and so it combines complex aromas and flavours with a light freshness and elegance.
Domaine Marcel Couturier, a family winery, has been undergoing conversion to organic & biodynamic farming – fully certified from 2021 and 2022 respectively – so only natural treatments are used and as little sulphur as possible to keep the wine fresh in bottle. Hand harvesting and very gentle whole bunch pressing ensure the delicate extraction of the juices and thus, preservation of aromatic finesse.
Recommended for drinking with fish, seafood including scallops, foie gras, roast chicken, ham, pork, veal, creamy sauces, parmesan cheese, mushrooms, truffle. Generally it is not so good with other cheeses, tomato-based sauces, Chinese food, Thai food and, though it has the flavours to stand up to many of them, curries.
