"Bright gold. Fine citrus, fresh, buttery, no woody aspect, giving way to terroir. The palate is sufficiently enveloped, fat but fresh with a beautiful vivacity. Well-balanced, very fine Chardonnay for today and over the next five years. 3 parcels in Davayé and Prissé, a total of 8 ha. (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF)

About the wine:

Bright gold. Fine citrus, fresh, buttery, no woody aspect, giving way to terroir. The palate is sufficiently enveloped, fat but fresh with a lovely vivacity. Well-balanced, very fine Chardonnay for today and over the next five years. 3 parcels on Davayé and Prissé, 8 ha in total.

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.
