Inscrutable though it was last year, the 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Combettes is showing very well today, bursting with aromas of yellow orchard fruit, almond paste, dried white flowers and wet stones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and tensile, with good structure and concentration.$607.00 -

The 2012 Pouilly Fuissé la Croix Vieilles Vignes comes from schist soils and even in nascent form it boasts a vibrant, energetic stony nose that shimmers in the glass. The palate is extremely well-balanced and complex: citrus peel and orange rind at first and then subtle mandarin and spice notes flowing through later. This is quite a mercurial Pouilly-Fuissé, coquettishly showing a different side of its face each time you come back. Superb.$334.00
Generally considered the finest appellation in the Maconnais, Pouilly Fuisse produces rich and full bodied white wines of excellent value, which are solely made from the Chardonnay grape. Wines from Pouilly Fuisse should not be confused with wines from the Loire’s Pouilly Fume or Pouilly-sur-Loire, which are made from Sauvignon Blanc and Chasselas, respectively.
