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,[1] the latter 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.
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.
