Made by the esteemed Frederick Burrier of Domaine Beauregard, one of the most prestige producers in the area. The label Joseph Deshaires is named in honour of Frederic's grandfather. After a slow process of pressing & must settling, this Macon-Villages is mostly vinified in temperature controlled vats & ages quietly for at least 8 months on fine lees. A well made & very elegantly styled Macon Villages, with more complexity & weight than normally found in this appellation. Easily mistaken for a Cote de Beaune classic like a St Aubin or Savigny. ...

Located in the south of Burgundy, in the Maconnais region, the Pouilly Fuisse Appellation is situated where the relief becomes more marked, around the rocky cliffs of Vergisson & Solutre-Pouilly, on the slopes of Mount Pouilly & the cirque of Fuisse, on the Beauregard plateau & the heights of Chaintre. ' Les Cras' is a wellknown ' Climat' located on the windy & chalky plateau of Beauregard, from the village of Solutre-Pouilly. The thin, shallow soils lie on Jurassic calcareous layers. Some clay veins appear here & there. The name ' Cras' means chalk in our local dialect. Chateau de Beauregard owns almost 4 ha of ' Vers Cras' & produces about 10 000 bottles of this prestigious Pouilly-Fuisse. The aromas & the flavours reveal the mineral (chalk) & the vegetal (fern, boxwood). Here, the Terroir overpass the fruit expression. The finish is balanced & rich. This wine is complex & subtle. The best moment to drink this wine depends on the natural acidity of the vintage. In the best vintages, our Pouilly Fuisse ' Vers Cras' evolves more than 10 years when stored properly. Food matching Serve between 12 & 15 Deg C in fine crystal glasses. ' Les Cras' will enhance scallops, grilled or 'en sauce' fish, poultry (poulet de Bresse a la creme), 'quenelles' & 'andouillettes' & of course goat cheese from the Maconnais. ...
