Pouilly-Loché is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for white wine in the Mâconnais subregion Burgundy in central France, located in the commune of Loché,[1] an associated commune of Mâcon.
[2] 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.
Pouilly-Loché is located adjacent to the appellations Pouilly-Fuissé, which is considerably larger than Pouilly-Loché, and Pouilly-Vinzelles, but is located slightly closer to Mâcon.
These three neighbouring appellations all produce white wines of a similar style.
The allowed base yield is 50 hectoliter per hectare and the grapes must reach a maturity of at least 11.0 per cent potential alcohol.
