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
Mâconnais 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.

2009 MÂCON VERGISSON La Roche Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France
Spicy fruit too, like the Chaintré, but here this is, as Daniel puts it, 'beaucoup plus tonique'. Lots of citrus from these high-altitude vines, which have performed particularly well in this hot vintage.

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

2009 POUILLY FUISSÉ Alliance-Vergisson Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France
Supple attack, again fine, juicy, expression of ripe fruit, citrus and pears, opulent to a certain degree but really just joyful. 'From the stony side of Vergisson', says Daniel, refreshingly easy to drink.

2009 POUILLY FUISSÉ Vieilles Vignes La Verchère Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France
Very straight, very pure, slightly saline, dancing, light on its feet, and yet still with the ripe fullness of the vintage.

2009 POUILLY FUISSÉ La Roche Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France
Here there is no marl - it's on pure limestone. Such texture. This is special. Crushed rocks, liquid crystal, weighty yet still cool like a dense stone from a riverbed. Ultimately fresh and pure.

2009 POUILLY FUISSÉ Vieilles Vignes Les Crays Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France
Les Crays is a vineyard site on white marl. This has an astonishing precison of flavours including lemon rind, lemon curd or lemon cheesecake, a little leesy (tasted from barrel) but fresh, taut, bright, exploding with fruit and flavour - real fireworks. Long, tight finish.

2008 POUILLY FUISSÉ La Roche Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France
Purity itself. Very mineral and tightly defined. Close-textured, a tight, fine weave of flavour on the palate. Just lovely.

2008 POUILLY FUISSÉ Vieilles Vignes En Buland Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France
If les Crays is like Chassagne, this is a big Meursault style, broad, richly oaky and fruity, full but still Burgundian, with an inner stiffness, chewy and long.

2009 SAINT VÉRAN En Crèches Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France
Half-bottles
Real sense of straightness in this wine. it is more mineral and less full-blooded than the Macons. Lovely firm long straight wine, like rails stretching into the distance.
