About the estate:

Antoine and Bénédicte Vincent, brother and sister, manage this historic 40-hectare estate, which spans the Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon, and Juliénas appellations. The soil is carefully tended, viticulture is sustainable, and the wines are aged exclusively in barrels from a single cooper to ensure consistency, in accordance with rigorous standards. The estate offers cuvées marketed under both a château line and a négociant line. It is worth noting that the Clos and Brûlées cuvées have been classified as Premier Cru starting with the 2020 vintage.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

This historic estate has belonged to the Vincent family since 1862. The château is home to numerous old vines. Since 2003, Antoine Vincent has been producing wines here from the Mâconnais region’s major appellations, including two Premier Crus in Fuissé, as well as a small 3-hectare vineyard in Juliénas. The 2020 vintage allows us to celebrate the mastery of oak aging and the more consistent winemaking approach suited to this great vintage.
