Domaine Daniel Barraud
Daniel and Martine Barraud's vineyards in Vergisson are mostly high up under the famous rock (Vergisson lies between the two dramatic cliffs of the rocks of Solutré and Vergisson). The vineyards here are significantly higher than those of Fuissé, and consequently later-ripening, and the wines often have a more solid structure - but all Daniel's wines have their own character, from the Puligny-like directness of the La Roche to the fat, almost California-like 'en Buland', via the mineral force of the Crays.
Other reviews and comments
Barraud is unquestionably in the very top echelon of producers in Pouilly-Fuissé. [He] is crafting superlative wines that equal or surpass the finest offerings of the Cote de Beaune's grand cru vineyards.

2009 MÂCON CHAINTRÉ Pierres Polies Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
Round and ripe, almost exotic fruit, so full and complete. A bit of gingery spice and richness. Harvested as early as the 5th September to keep it fresh and avoid heavyness.

2010 MÂCON CHAINTRÉ Pierres Polies Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
(Sold under the name of Daniel's son, Julien). This is the only one of Daniel's wines which sees no barrique, being aged in a combination of stainless steel and large foudres. Bright and breezy, fresh... (more info)

2011 MÂCON VERGISSON La Roche Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
Rich, succulent, controlled fruit with a ceratin muscularity pulling out the finish. A bit of a bargain as usual.

2010 SAINT VÉRAN En Crèches Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
Very pure, appealing streamlined fruit, with something that recalls polished leather, there's slickness allied with a strength of texture and length.

2011 SAINT VÉRAN En Crèches Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
Tighter, more muscular mineral than the Macon La Roche. Not showy for now, sleek and fine.

2011 POUILLY FUISSÉ Alliance-Vergisson Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
The most easily accessible of the Barraud's Pouilly Fuissé's, sold under son Julien's name, like the Macon Chaintré. Relaxed, sunny style with just a hint of mineral.

2010 SAINT VÉRAN Les Pommards Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
Undoubtedly richly oaky, but the oak is all well-combined and merely brings out the emphatic personality of this strikingly ripe and forward wine. Les Pommards has always done this - round and gloriously... (more info)

2010 POUILLY FUISSÉ Vieilles Vignes La Verchère Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
At once densely rich and still balanced, fresh, pure, long. Old vines intensity and textural richness allied to a deep but rocky soil giving plenty of mineral drive. All in balance and very long.

2010 POUILLY FUISSÉ La Roche Domaine Daniel Barraud
Burgundy France
Intense, still tightly-wound, very mineral (as the name implies). Very energy-filled and directed, the rapier amongst these old-vine cuvées.

2010 POUILLY FUISSÉ Vieilles Vignes Les Crays Domaine Daniel Barraud

Almost like the Verchère amplified, but with perhaps even greater sense of minerality. Ripe and even sun-dried fruit aromas along with stones and cool river freshness. Beautiful delicacy as well as... (more info)
