The Pouilly-Fuissé Vers Pouilly 2016 scored 93, the Pouilly-Fuissé Vers Agnières 2019 scored 92, and the Pouilly-Fuissé Pierres À Canards 2018 scored 92 by the Wine Advocate.

Robert Parker’s tasting notes on the Pouilly-Fuissé Vers Pouilly 2016: “The 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Vers Pouilly is more dramatic, unfurling in the glass with aromas of golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, almond paste and a subtle top note of petrol. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with a deep, structured core and succulent balancing acids. Despite its gourmand profile and power, it remains serious and reserved.”

Pierre Vessigaud, the 5th generation vigneron, is the current winemaker of Domaine Pierre Vessigaud.

Pierre Vessigaud wasn’t the first person in his family to make wines, but he was the first to start bottling the wines made at domaine. His first vintage dates back to 1990.

The vineyards of Domaine Pierre Vessigaud are farmed in accordance with certified-organic principles. The domaine was certified organic until 2014, when parcels needed some non-bio treatments. The second certification started again in 2019.

The harvesting is manual. After sorting, the grapes are pressed for 5 hours. Pierre Vessigaud uses only natural yeasts for vinification which takes place in 3 to 15 years old barrels.

The wines spend 12 months in 500-liter barrels, foudres, and cement vats, avoiding new oak. The aging is done on lees and lasts from 11 to 18 months, depending on the cuvée.
