Domaine Dominique Cornin Description
The individual vineyards of this Estate represent the legacy of the Cornins' family history in the Mâconnais. Founded in 1993 by Dominique Cornin, his son, Romain now leads the estate. One of the youngest of a new generation of wine producers, Romain's knowledge is widely admired by his peers, having studied under his father, the Macon producer, Verget, and in the United States and New Zealand.
The domaine comprises 12,5 hectares over the villages of Chaintré, Fuissé, and Chanes. The individual vineyards of this Domaine are an apt reflection of the Cornin family. Les Chevrières is a one and a half hectares plot produced for the Hospices de Beaune and elevated to 1er Cru status in 2020. Clos Reyssié bears fruit from the same vines his great-great-grandfather set out in 1938. The centenarian parcel in Les Serreudières reaches even deeper into the Cornin's roots in Mâcon.
Made from four plots planted in Chaintré and Fuissé between 1909 and 1965. The vines are Guyot trained.
Vinous: 90+ Points
The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé is a blend of five parcels from around the appellation and aged in around 10% to 15% oak barrels. This is more backward on the nose than expected despite aeration, with touches of grapefruit and orange pith. I would like just a tad more vigour. The palate is more expressive with ample weight, tangerine and light orange rind notes. This becomes quite peppery towards the finish with good persistency. This just needs a few months for the aromatics to awaken.
