"A Beaujolais vintage with Burgundy-like qualities and surprisingly good value for money!"

In keeping with pure Beaujolais tradition, this cuvée perfectly reflects its terroir, offering a Juliénas with peppery fruitiness, velvety texture, mineral notes, and delicate tannins.

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Brother and sister Antoine and Bénédicte Vincent run this historic 40-hectare estate, spread across the Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon, and Juliénas appellations. The soils are worked, viticulture is sustainable, and the wines are aged in barrels from a single cooper to maintain consistency, with a rigorous approach. The wines are sold under a château range and a négociant range. It should be noted that the Clos and Les Brûlées cuvées are classified as premier cru from the 2020 vintage onwards.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About the estate:

This historic estate has belonged to the Vincent family since 1862. The château has many old vines. Since 2003, Antoine Vincent has been producing the major appellations of the Mâconnais region here, including two premier crus in Fuissé, as well as a small 3-hectare vineyard in Juliénas. 2020 allows us to applaud the mastery of wood aging and the more consistent management suited to this great vintage.
