Pouilly-Fuisse is the name of a village in the Maconnais producing highly distinctive
Chardonnay wine. The vineyards producing this wine are part of a breath-taking landscape
where the limestone and heavy clay soils combine to create a unique 'terroir'
Tasting notes
Pouilly-Fuisse is one of the most popular as well as most prestigious wines from southern Burgundy. This fine 2012, with its pale yellow colour and emerald highlights is naturally unctuous due to the low yields of the vintage; there are beautiful white fruit aromas that mix very-well with fine almond notes. There are also Muscat-like aromatics that can be smelt and which linger in the mouth. A wine to be savoured whilst young with lovely minerality and focused finish.
