Pouilly-Fuisse is the appellation for the finest white wines of the Maconnais region in southern Burgundy. They are produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the communes of Chaintre, Fuisse, Solutre-Pouilly and Vergisson.

The Pouilly-Fuisse appellation officially dates back to September 1936, although the boundaries were drawn up as early as December 1922. It currently covers around 2000 acres (800ha) of hillside vineyards, planted on limestone-rich clay soils over a granitic base. The 1640-ft (500-m) limestone escarpment known as the Roche de Solutre is located at the heart of the appellation's vine-growing area and towers over the vineyards below.
