Ripe, supple and of medium body, this classic expression of Pouilly-Fuissé shows vibrant Chardonnay fruit flavors with notes of melon and minerals, gently touched with oak, ending in a fresh, silky finish.





The average annual production of Pouilly-Fuissé is approximately 500,000 cases, most of which is controlled by the appellation's cooperative at Chaintré; the smaller, independent growers typically produce wines of greater character and complexity, yet these are very rarely bottled by the grower himself. Maison Louis Jadot has long maintained agreements with several growers exclusively in the communes of Pouilly and Fuissé, and many years ago began delivering oak casks to these proprietors so that they could set off the fermentation of their musts in these casks. Blended with other wines fermented in stainless steel, the oak-fermented wines create a Pouilly-Fuissé particularly complex in its flavor spectrum, with greater fullness and structure than is usually found in wines of this appellation.
