great wine

"The old Le Clos vineyard reveals an elegant, ripe, fresh profile, with a blond woodiness that supports the wine, with scents of crème brûlée. The palate is licorice-like, but remains fresh, concentrated and long. (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) Graceful, superb, a great white! Limited quantities available.

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

About the wine:

Le Clos' old vines reveal an elegant, ripe, fresh profile, with a blond woodiness that supports the wine, with scents of crème brûlée. The palate is liquorice, fresh, concentrated and long.

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.
