Information

Pouilly-Fuissé is a white wine from the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation in Burgundy, France. It has a pale golden color and a rich, complex flavor profile. The bouquet reveals notes of apple, pear, and a hint of butter and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of ripe fruit, toasted nuts, and a touch of minerality. Pouilly-Fuissé pairs well with seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.

Fun facts

Pouilly-Fuissé is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown on limestone and marl soils, giving the wine its distinctive minerality and structure. The influence of the Roche de Solutré, a nearby limestone escarpment, adds a unique terroir-driven complexity.
