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 soils are carefully tended, viticulture is sustainable, and the wines are aged in barrels from a single cooper to ensure consistency, adhering to rigorous standards. The wines are sold under both a château label and a négociant label. Note that the Clos and Brûlées cuvées are classified as Premier Cru starting with the 2020 vintage.

About the estate:

This historic estate has been owned by the Vincent family since 1862. The château boasts numerous old vines. Since 2003, Antoine Vincent has been producing wines here from the major appellations of the Mâconnais region, 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 management style suited to this great vintage.
