New vintage, 2011 rated: Robert Parker 94/100, Gault Millau 17/20, RVF 14/20, Guide Hachette 1*(Very successful wine)
With its bright, limpid, light golden drape, Cuvée Les Brûlés reveals an ample nose of ripe fruit, with a discreet background of burnt sugar and grilled notes to great effect. The palate is immense, round and fat, with a good touch of freshness. A racy, full-bodied, structured wine with a long finish, a very fine Pouilly-Fumé!

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 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.

Great wine... Buy it, drink it if you like, but it's best to keep it and drink it from 2020 onwards. Delicious!
