Pouilly-Fuissé

The jewel in the crown of Burgundy's sunny Mâconnais district, Pouilly-Fuissé is renowned for its mouthwatering white wines made from Chardonnay. Located in a series of limestone hills and enjoying a warmer climate than the region's north, Pouilly-Fuissé wines offer more tropical flavors than whites from the Côte de Beaune. These aromas are complemented by the taste of juicy stone fruit, particularly ripe peach and apricot. Most Pouilly-Fuissé wines spend time aging in barrel, where they pick up more complex flavors from oak and oxygen contact. These toasty, buttery and nutty flavors add a savory edge to the rounded fruitiness. AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) is the most prestigious of the quality tiers within France’s wine classification system. AOC-designated wines must follow multiple different rules on a broad range of topics. Wines are regulated on the appellation, varietal inclusion, production methods, alcohol levels, vineyard planting density and age of the vineyard.
