Wine Spectator

(Notes vintage 2017)
chardonnay

"Expressive, elegant aromas of citrus, exotic fruit, flowers....The wine is dense; juicy, full-flavored, elegant and long on the palate." (Bourgogne Aujourd'hui) Minerality combined with noble character... The first of the 3 monopoles is marked by limestone soil minerality, all in finesse. Simply superb.

Terroirs

"Les Combettes" Château-Fuissé (1.3 ha) is a small valley at the southern end of the "Côte de Fuissé". The soils are extremely stony and chalky, naturally well drained, giving fine, very mineral and particularly racy wines.

Viticulture

Traditional, applying reasoned precepts and organic fertilizers to ensure the longevity of our terroirs. The soil is systematically tilled on a plot-by-plot basis to limit erosion and ensure the respect and authenticity of the terroir.

Vin noté (guide 2020) 16,5/20 (Millésime 2017) (Très bon vin)

Rated domain (2023 guide) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

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 vinified all 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.
