Pouilly-Fuissé, a Pure Expression of Burgundy Chardonnay

Unoaked white Burgundy wine. This is a refreshing and delightful wine from the rock located next to the famous Solutré rock. Specifically, La Roche de Vergisson, which is pictured on the label of this wine. This terroir is known for its immense minerality, characteristic of the region. Bright lemon yellow, with notes of wildflowers and grassy aromas, combined with lemon, white peach, pineapple, green apple, and pear, with hints of wet granite. M+ bodied, delicious acidity, with a round, silky mouthfeel. A lingering finish with a touch of bitterness. 13% alcohol.

Food Pairings

Perfect as an aperitif, but also great with summer salads. Pair this wine with green asparagus, as the slight bitterness complements the lightly earthy character of the asparagus beautifully. The green fruit notes of this wine also enhance the flavor of the asparagus. It also pairs well with white meat and veal. Vegetable dishes like casseroles, meat ragouts, or risottos also work wonderfully with this wine.

Special Characteristics

100% Chardonnay aged in steel for extra purity of the terroir
Fresh, dry, spicy. A summer Burgundy wine. Not too heavy, but full of flavor
The wine is grown in the Mâconnais region: in Pouilly-Fuissé
Excellent price-quality ratio considering its origin

Mâconnais: The Undiscovered Jewel of Burgundy

The Mâconnais, located in the southern part of Burgundy, is a region often overshadowed by the prestigious vineyards of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. However, in recent years, this region has garnered much attention due to the excellent price-quality ratio of its wines. While the more famous areas of Burgundy often demand sky-high prices, the Mâconnais offers high-quality wines with unique character, without breaking the bank. For many wine lovers discovering Burgundy, the Mâconnais is a surprising find, proving that top wines don't always come with a hefty price tag.

What is Produced in the Mâconnais?

The Mâconnais is primarily known for its white wines, mostly made from the Chardonnay grape. The region has several appellations, with Mâcon-Villages, Viré-Clessé, Pouilly-Fuissé, and Saint-Véran being the most prominent. These wines are fresh, fruity, and often marked by a fine minerality reminiscent of the top wines from northern Burgundy, but with a softer and more accessible style. The wines from the Mâconnais often have a pronounced terroir, subtly differing from village to village, giving each bottle its own character.

Which Dishes Pair Well with Mâconnais Wines?

The white Chardonnay wines from the Mâconnais are versatile and pair perfectly with a wide range of dishes. They are an excellent choice for seafood like oysters, shrimp, lobster, and crab. Light fish dishes with subtle herb sauces also pair well with these wines. Additionally, they are ideal with poultry dishes, especially when served with mushrooms or light sauces. For dessert, these wines go perfectly with soft cheeses like brie or camembert.

The red wines, made from the Gamay or Pinot Noir grape, are lighter in style and pair well with poultry, veal, duck, and chicken. They are less suited for heavy game dishes but go fantastically with earthy vegetables, mushrooms, root dishes, and risotto. Both wine styles, red and white, are versatile and can even be served with light desserts.

Buying Mâconnais Burgundy Wines

At Burgundy or Nowhere, you will find a wide selection of Mâconnais wines, from well-known names to hidden gems. We are particularly excited about the wines from Domaine de la Chapelle, whose Saint-Veran is renowned for its impressive depth and complexity at a reasonable price. Our goal is to offer wines where the price reflects what’s inside the bottle, and not just the name on the label.
