Origin

The Pouilly-Fuissé appellation is situated in the south of the Maconnais’ vineyards. It spreads across the villages of Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly, Vergisson, and Chaintré.

As soon as the incline increases, in the south of Mâcon, around the renowned rocks of Vergisson and Solutré, the vineyard of Pouilly-Fuissé, on clay-limestone soil from the Jurassic era, entirely covers the abrupt hills on little parcels of steep slopes. The harvest is of approximately 40 000 hl for 761 hectares of vines.

On banks of crinoidal limestone, the vineyard lies on the sides and at the base of the rocks on gravelly scree and clay-limestone soils dating back to the Jurassic period. Note also the clay soils on a granitic bedrock in the westernmost part of the appellation.

Steep incline/Eastern, south-eastern exposure/Altitude of 200 m to 350 m.

Vinification and maturing

Vinification and fermentation of 10 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Ageing on the lees for 10 months in vats.

Vintage : 2013

2013 is listed as the vintage with the fourth lowest yield in the past 4 years. The climate situation was not legendary, it was rather modest.
The Winter and the Spring were cold, long lasting and wet. Generally, we had hot and dry days in July and August, however the delay in the vegetative growth at Spring was not caught up. September was not pointed out for its generosity either. The sun was discreet and it was raining regularly which didn’t help the maturation process. This kind of late vintages usually play in the favour of the precocious Côte Chalonnaise. Choosing an accurate date of harvest, sorting in the vineyard and at the winery and adjusting the vinification to the vintage will make all the difference.
