Pouilly-Fuissé is the premium wine of Macon, 100% Chardonnay, with a reputation of making a more fuller style.
Roger Luquet’s original vineyards are situated in the centre of the village of Fuissé, an old Roman village, and they make their flagship Cuvée Terroir from the fruit of the oldest vines, average age 55 years.
Harvesting is done by hand in the traditional way. The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks – no oak for this cuvee – to preserve the natural fruit of the grape and the characteristic of each vintage.
