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. Satisfying on the palate and refreshing, it compensates for its relative simplicity with undeniable charm, featuring a lovely salinity 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 until 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-lasting, and bittersweet. Judging by my experience with other higher-end wines in the appellation, it will age very well until 2016.
