Pouilly Fuisse is located in Burgundy's Maconnais and is known for producing which grape variety?

• A. Sauvignon Blanc
• B. Chardonnay
• C. Pinot Noir
• D. Merlot

Answer: (B)

Chardonnay is the grape used for Pouilly-Fuissé. This part of Burgundy, the Maconnais, is known for white wines made from Chardonnay, and Pouilly-Fuissé is specifically an appellation for Chardonnay wines. The grape here expresses the region’s terroir with bright citrus and apple notes, plus a mineral character that can develop with barrel aging. The other options don’t fit because Sauvignon Blanc is associated with different Burgundy whites and regions, Pinot Noir is Burgundy’s main red grape, and Merlot is not grown for this Burgundy appellation.
