Pouilly and Fuissé are two distinct villages in the Mâconnais of Borgogne, very near to Beaujolais where Georges Duboeuf is king. The large wine area actually covers 4 villages to produce good, dry, rich Chardonnays sold under the name of Pouilly Fuissé. Grilled almond, nuts and while flowers are its most distincitve aromatic expressions.
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.
