Jean Pierre Chamoux in Pouilly sur Loire

Famous for producing two wines - one from the old sloped vines that is aromatic and flinty and the other that is fruity and fresh from the vineyard's new vines - Jean Pierre Chamoux is located in an old lawyer's house in Pouilly and is a stunning and friendly winery to visit. Learn from the knowledge of Jean Pierre and his partner Sylvie about wine, and ask for their unforgettable food pairings to go with their exquisite wine at this winery-meets-hotel.
