Pouilly-Fuisse Wine Offers

About Pouilly-Fuisse Wines

At the heart of the Maconnais region, is the region of Pouilly, which has perfect vineyards for the cultivation of Chardonnay. With a warm climate, and on limestone soils, the potential for the wines is great, and there are some superb examples. Unfortunately, over recent years the fame and demand for Pouilly-Fuisse, like so many other Burgundy regions, has meant that some producers have traded quality for volume to cope with demand from both UK and US. At best the wines have a rich, fleshy ripeness, a ripe, creamy concentration, with a warm, honeyed edge, and are delicious. Watch the producer is the key message here, yet again.

The appellations of Pouilly-Loche and Pouilly-Vinzelles lie close to Pouilly-Fuisse and have added the famed Pouilly name to their villages, to add to their status. In general the wines are softer and with less character.
