A monopole of just 2.7 hectares, this vineyard forms an amphitheatre around the Château and is divided into three distinct soil types—clay at the bottom, marl in the middle, and fragmented limestone at the top. The vines, planted in 1929, 1963, 1968, and 1985, benefit from a warm aspect, free draining soils, and a rare underground water source, all were all beneficial in 2024.

Château Fuissé

This is undoubtedly the aristocratic domaine of Fuissé. Now under the control of brother and sister, Antoine Vincent and Bénédicte Tuinder-Vincent, son and daughter of Jean-Jacques Vincent. Whilst Antoine is now the winemaker at this great property, his sister runs the commercial side along with her husband, Philip Tuinder. The domaine holds 30ha of vines in total, in Pouilly-Fuissé, St Veran, Macon and Julienas. The wines are epitomized by fat, rich fruit, whose weight is perfectly balanced with a consistently outstanding backbone of tight acidity.

The nose is rich and exotic, with opulent notes of honeysuckle, Granny Smith apple and almonds. On the palate, this is a big, powerful wine, with intense acidity and vibrant freshness providing focus and a cleansing lift that cuts through the decadent fruit and oak. Flavours of toasty apple and energetic, lively fruit carry through to a long, elegant finish.
Aged in 95% new oak.
