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. Pouilly-Loché has Chardonnay as the only allowed grape variety.[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. The AOC was created in 1940.
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.
