About the domain :
Antoine and Bénédicte Vincent, brother and sister, manage this historic 40-hectare estate, spread over the Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon and Juliénas appellations. The soils are tilled, the viticulture is integrated and the wines are aged in barrels from a single cooperage to maintain a constant, rigorous approach. Cuvées are marketed under a château range and a négociant range. The Clos and Brûlées cuvées will be classified as Premier Cru as of the 2020 vintage.

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.
