I believe that the correct words are, 'Pouilly Fuissé', with an accent 'é'. It must have been a simple typo.
And let me say, that these wines are best served with sea food or any type of fish.
If you this wine, also try a 'Pouilly-Fumé', which also goes great with cold seafood.
Keep up the lists. They are most enjoyed over here in Switzerland.
