Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of toffee, yellow apple, and marigold with a soft, vibrant, dry medium body and a polished, interesting, medium-long finish with accents of cast iron cornbread and lemon curd with well-integrated tannins and moderate oak flavor. Orchard fruit abounds in this Pouilly Fuisse that finishes with a dollop of buttery charm.

Burgundy Pouilly Fuisse

Wine Glass White.jpg
Serve in a White Wine Glass
Pouilly Fuisse is a white wine from the Burgundy region in France. Produced from vineyards in the Maconnais district of southern Burgundy, Pouilly Fuisse is a medium to medium-full dry white with moderate oak flavors and good acidity.

While it is lighter in body than many other famous white Burgundies, it is often priced a bit high, given its quality. This has to do with the name recognition, as this was a very popular white wine in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, its popularity has declined, although there are some notable versions.

Consume a Pouilly Fuisse from three to seven years of age and pair with just about any type of seafood, lighter poultry and light white meats.

Nicolas Potel 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé rating was calculated by to be 92 points out of 100 on 8/10/2021. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
