Pouilly
 

 


Pouilly Fuissé

Pouilly and Fuissé are two distinct villages in the Mâconnais. The large wine area actually covers 4 villages to produce a good white wine sold under the name of Pouilly Fuissé.

Although Pouilly Fuissé should be drunk when age 5, it can be forgotten in a cellar for a very long time as it can possibly age 20 years or even more !

Pouilly Fuissé should not be confused with Pouilly Fumé, a white wine from the Loire Valley.
