The Pouilly-Fuissé opens in the glass with aromas of pear, green apple, citrus oil, and warm pastry. Medium to full-bodied, delicately textural, and fleshy, with racy acids and a nicely defined finish, it has turned out well.
The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé is pretty, wafting from the glass with scents of white flowers, citrus zest, and musky peach. Medium to full-bodied, satiny, and precise, it's nicely concentrated, with bright acids and a saline finish.
The 2019 Pouilly-Fuissé offers up generous aromas of ripe orchard and stone fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied rich and fleshy palate that's nicely concentrated and defined. More muscular than the 2018, it has turned out well.

Generous and expressive, the 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé reveals pretty aromas of buttered orchard fruit and honeysuckle, followed by a full-bodied, ample and succulent palate that's laden with fruit but balanced by juicy, mouthwatering acids. The finish is pure and tangy, still revealing a touch of struck match from its bottling. It's more buxom and old-fashioned in style than the chiseled wines being produced by the talented Audrey Braccini at Jadot's Domaine Ferret, but Jadot is clearly taking this Pouilly-Fuissé very seriously, and it will reward following for the next 5 years.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
