Laurent Cognard Pouilly-Loché ‘Aux Barres’: The Height of Mâconnais Luxury

The Domaine Laurent Cognard Pouilly-Loché ‘Aux Barres’ is a masterful expression of premium Chardonnay from Burgundy’s Mâconnais region. Hailing from the smallest of the Pouilly appellations, this wine is a testament to Laurent Cognard’s commitment to quality and terroir expression.

Cognard uses a thoughtful aging process, often including 500L demi-muids, to integrate subtle richness and honeyed notes while maintaining the signature acidity and crispness that defines great white Burgundy. This is a wine that offers both immediate pleasure and the structure for graceful aging.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Bright, brilliant pale gold.
• Nose: An aromatic profile of ripe white fruit, citrus zest, and a hint of exotic fruit, layered with a subtle, elegant toastiness from oak influence.
• Palate: Rich and full-bodied, the palate delivers a beautiful balance of freshness and luscious texture. Expect flavors of tropical fruit and minerality leading to a long, crisp, and saline finish.

Pairing & Service

This luxury white Burgundy is ready to elevate any fine dining occasion. Serve chilled, but not ice-cold, to allow its full complexity to shine.

• Serving Temperature: 50-54°F (10-12°C).
• Pairing Suggestions: Pan-seared scallops, Lobster in a butter sauce, or Chicken Piccata.
