Since 1604, Château Fuissé has been a cornerstone of Burgundian winemaking, stewarded by five generations of the Vincent family who have consistently expanded both their holdings and reputation. Now under Antoine Vincent's leadership, the estate has established itself as a quality benchmark in the Mâconnais region, producing wines that rival prestigious appellations like Puligny-Montrachet. The château's most distinguished vineyards - Les Brûlés, Les Combettes, and Le Clos - showcase distinctive terroirs through specific cuvées, with Les Brûlés and Le Clos currently under consideration for the region's first-ever premier cru designation. Beyond these estate bottlings, the family extends their expertise to a series of quality-focused wines from the broader Mâcon region under their Vincent Signature label, maintaining the same exacting standards across their entire portfolio.
This Saint-Véran showcases its northern appellation terroir through a firm, structured palate built on limestone and clay soils adjacent to Pouilly-Fuissé. The 100% Chardonnay wine offers bright citrus notes balanced with subtle peach undertones, creating an approachable yet well-defined expression. At 13% alcohol, it demonstrates the elegant restraint typical of the region, made with sustainable practices under Antoine Vincent's direction.
