About the domain :
This historic estate has belonged to the Vincent family since 1862. The château boasts many old vines. Since 2003, Antoine Vincent has been vinifying the major Mâconnais appellations here, including two Premier Crus in Fuissé, as well as a small 3-hectare vineyard in Juliénas. In 2020, we salute the mastery of woody ageing and the more homogeneous management adapted to this great vintage.
