The wine comes from the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, known for its distinct Chardonnay with more body and depth than many broader Mâcon wines. Thanks to 30-year-old vines, limestone soil with heavy clay, and stainless steel aging, this wine achieves its full structure, floral aroma, and long, refined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"548\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"665\"\u003ePouilly-Fuissé is located in the Mâconnais, the southern part of Burgundy where Chardonnay plays the absolute leading role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"870\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"692\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pouilly-Fuissé is the name of a village and appellation in the Mâconnais.
