Presentation
Located in southern Burgundy, in the Mâconnais region, the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation stretches over the villages of Fuissé, Solutré, Pouilly, Vergisson and Chaintré.
In 2020, following a long process of characterisation of the historic 'lieux dits', the appellation obtained the classification of a certain number of its Climats as Premier Cru.
Premier Cru "Aux Quarts" is located in the commune of Chaintré. Its location on a gentle slope at the top of the hillside, at an altitude of 270 metres, combined with its east-facing exposure, gives this wine a special elegance.
