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 2024 shows a citric driven style, combining lovely ripeness with precise balance. Aromas of baked dessert apple, honey, and subtle vanilla are complemented by refreshing acidity. The palate is lively with ripe apple and stone fruit, hints of honeysuckle and floral elegance and a mineral driven salinity. The acidity carries through, balancing the richness and leading to a long, vibrant, and elegant finish.
Produced from 40 different cuvées – 50% in tank, 50% in steel with just 20% new oak.
