Pouilly – Fuisse Wine Region, France

The Pouilly – Fuisse wine region is one of Burgundy’s most distinctive subregions. Pouilly-Fuissé is the Mâconnais’ most celebrated appellation, its limestone hills and the dramatic rocky outcrops of the Roche de Solutré and Roche de Vergisson giving Chardonnay real textural richness balanced against genuine freshness and minerality. The slightly warmer Mâconnais climate lends the wines more generous fruit than Chablis further north, while still retaining the acidity and elegance that define fine white Burgundy – the appellation grows Chardonnay exclusively.
