Château Fuissé dates back to 1604 and has been in the Vincent family for five generations. Each generation has added land, increased quality and enhanced the worldwide recognition of the château. Today under the direction of Antoine Vincent, Jean-Jacques Vincent’s son, Château Fuissé has reached the pinnacle of quality in the region with its wines rivaling the more famous appellations of Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault to the north.
The most famous vineyards of Les Brûlés, Les Combettes, and Le Clos surrounding the château are bottled as specific cuvées to showcase their unique terroir. Presently, both Les Brûlés and Le Clos are in review by the INAO for premiers crus designation. Currently, Mâcon is the lone region in Burgundy lacking even one premier cru. But if one (or more) of the region’s vineyards wins approval, such a designation will be the first-ever premier cru in the Mâconnais.) Château Fuissé also produces quality-driven wines sourced mainly from family-owned properties in the Mâcon under the Vincent Signature label. Each of these wines is produced with the same care and expertise as the domaine bottlings.
750 mlChâteau-Fuissé’s Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cuvée is sourced from more than 40 parcels and located throughout the estate’s 100-acre holdings. The personal touch of Antoine Vincent in the final blend makes this wine the representative example of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. The wine is matured in a blend of 70% oak vessel and 30% stainless steel.
Light pale yellow in colour. Crisp and ripe, apples and lemon, almonds and smoked hazelnuts. Good minerality and freshness. The wine is Fresh and forward, with a nice richness in the mid-palate. Lots of ripe fruits and almonds with a delicate oaky and smokey finish.
