Pouilly Fuissé “Margolliets” | White Burgundy
2009
Good Pouilly Fuissé is very good, indeed the finest of all Macon (not to be confused with the Loire's Pouilly Fumé) and this is a classic example of really well-made Burgundian Chardonnay at its very best. The New World cannot make Chardonnay like this—and it is exceptional value for money.
The Press
‘Lightly honeyed and minerally fruits, with a good texture on the palate, with plenty of fat. It really softens up in the middle, with rather subdued acidity against the creamy texture. This should develop nicely within a year or three, I think. 15.5-16+/20.’— Chris Kissack, Wine DoctorOur tasting notes
Golden lemon in colour with passion fruit and pineapple on the nose. Buttery fresh fruit with a hint of lemon and nuts. Complex and full with a long lush finish. Impossible not to finish the bottle!Wine data

About Pouilly Fuissé
A tiny appellation—875 hectares—from the tiny villages of Fuissé, Chaintre, Solutre-Pouilly and Vergisson near Macon. Clay and limestone combine to make rich and luscious wines. There are no premiers crus. The locals recommend it with Banon and Picodan cheese as well as shellfish. We recommend it on its own!
