Rated 3*Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
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 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.

About the estate:
This iconic Fuissé estate currently cultivates 40 hectares of Chardonnay on the appellation’s finest terroirs. The Vincent family has owned it since 1862, and Antoine—an agricultural engineer and oenologist—has been at the helm since 2003. Internationally renowned wines emerge from the 15th-century cellars: 80% are sold for export.

About the estate:
This historic estate has been owned by 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.
