Robert Parker

“The third vintage from this seven-hectare estate, the Vincent family of Château Fuissé has crafted a 2011 Juliénas that blends juicy notes of raspberry with a hint of rose. Pleasing on the palate and refreshing, it makes up for its relative simplicity with undeniable charm, featuring a lovely minerality on the finish that makes it mouthwatering, long-lasting, and slightly bittersweet. Judging by my experience with other higher-end wines in the appellation, it will age very well through 2016. ” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

About the wine:

The third vintage from this seven-hectare estate, the Vincent family of Château Fuissé has crafted a 2011 Juliénas that blends juicy notes of raspberry with a hint of rose. Satisfying on the palate and refreshing, it compensates for its relative simplicity with undeniable charm, featuring a lovely minerality on the finish that makes it mouthwatering, long, and bittersweet. Based on my experience with other, higher-end wines from the appellation, it should age very well until 2016.
