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 "Clos Reyssié" covers 21.50 acres and is located in the commune of Chaintré, the southernmost village in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation.
The vines are planted on a magnificent east-facing slope at an altitude of between 230 and 250 metres.
