"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.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
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 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.
