"The third vintage from this seven-hectare estate, the Vincent du Château Fuissé have produced a Juliénas 2011 that blends juicy raspberry notes with a hint of rose. Satisfying and refreshing on the palate, it compensates for its relative simplicity with undeniable charm, with a lovely salinity on the finish that makes it salivating, long and slightly bittersweet. Judging by my experience with other, more upmarket wines in the appellation, it will enjoy very well, right through to 2016." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
