What is "pouilly-vinzelles"

Pouilly-Vinzelles is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for white wine in the Mâconnais subregion Burgundy in central France, located in the communes of Vinzelles and Loché, the latter an associated commune of Mâcon. Pouilly-Vinzelles has Chardonnay as the only allowed grape variety. There are no Premier Cru vineyards within the AOC, as the local growers at the time the regulations were being drawn up never applied for this. The AOC was created in 1940.

Pouilly-Vinzelles is located adjacent to the appellation Pouilly-Fuissé, which is considerably larger than Pouilly-Vinzelles, and just south of Pouilly-Loché. These three neighbouring appellations all produce white wines of a similar style.
