Vineyard & Winemaking Notes

Burgundy is a fairly small wine region in the central eastern part of France where they make some of the most expensive and sought-after wines in the world. The Maconnais has a mild and sunny climate. Considered the best wine of the Maconnais, Pouilly Fuisse is made up of five villages within an area of limestone hills, rich in the alkaline clay. Hand harvested grapes; the wine is barrel fermented and aged “sur lie” in stainless steel tanks with a stirring of the lies (batonnage) once a month for richness and flavor.
