Run by two brothers Jean-Pierre and Michel Auvigue, the wines come from a family estate of around 6 hectares and around 20 hectares of contract grapes. These are vinified in their cellars which are contained in an old mill, called 'Le Moulin du Pont'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eMost of the family estate is located in the hillside village of Solutré-Pouilly within sight of the extraordinary \"Rock of Solutré\", a celebrated landmark which is visible for miles. Only white wines from the Chardonnay grape are produced at the estate, mostly Pouilly Fuissé, but also Saint-Veran and some Macon-Solutré.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eThe winery prides itself in employing traditional methods in the vineyards, respecting nature. They use no chemical fertilisers, only organic. They plough to make the roots plunge into the rocky soils, allowing the vine to load itself with mineral elements. With careful observation of the vine's health, they are able to reduce human intervention to a minimum level, and let nature do the rest, allowing the soil to express itself differently in each \"climat\". Manual harvest takes place at optimum ripeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eThe cellars are well equipped, and they work with gravity during the whole winemaking process, to avoid tiring and de-oxygenising the wine as a result of pumping. Oak barrels are only used to compliment the cuvee, the main proportion of the wine being fermented in stainless-steel vats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.auvigue.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMaison Auvigue Website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"maison-auvigue-pouilly-fuisse-vieilles-vignes","title":"Maison Auvigue Pouilly-Fuisse Vieilles Vignes 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrapes for the Maison Auvigue Pouilly-Fuisse Vieilles Vignes are sourced from three vineyards located in the best part of the family estate, with vines aged between 66 and 72 years old.

Fermented and aged in oak barrels for 8 months, the wine displays aromas of brioche with hints of toast and vanilla and notes of vine peaches. The palate is round and supple, the tannin slightly truffled and the finish velvety and structured with a lovely acidity, great depth and richness.[#intro]An elegant Chardonnay of impressive complexity and concentration, from 70 year old vines...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Auvigue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18653822648378,"sku":"A22AUVIGUEPFVV-1","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/PouillyFuisseVV.jpg?v=1590692917"},{"product_id":"maison-auvigue-macon-solutre-white-burgundy","title":"Maison Auvigue Mâcon Solutré-Pouilly 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaison Auvigue are long-established winemakers in the Mâconnais wine region of Burgundy and own several exceptional vineyards around the famous rock of Solutré.
