The wine region of Pouilly-Fuissé
Emblematic great white of the Mâconnais (southern Burgundy): signature Chardonnay reigns exclusively in whites — pale to green-gold with emerald glints, round and fleshy with citrus (lemon, grapefruit, pineapple), peach, almond, hazelnut, breadcrumb, brioche, honey and a flinty mineral touch, a richness-freshness balance without excess nervousness. AOC (1936), 758 ha across 4 villages (Vergisson, Solutré, Fuissé, Chaintré) below the eponymous rocks, clays and limestones.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
