One of the greatest white wine appellations in France, Pouilly Fuissé comprises 5 sleepy little hamlets. The finest wines, produced from the ideally sited slopes around the village of Fuissé, tend to be fatter, more honeyed with an almost Meursault-like character, a fact now recognized by the awarding of premier-cru status for a handful of top vineyards. The soil here is Jurassic limestone, similar to that found on the Cote d’Or, with similar flavour qualities found in the resultant dry white wines – an elegance and richness that is balanced by razor sharp acidity and honeyed depth.
