(2016 Vintage Notes)

As the estate’s most important and renowned vineyard, Château London is highly representative of the white wines of the Mâconnais region. With its aromas of ripe fruit, roundness, minerality, and balance, this wine is the perfect accompaniment to aperitifs, as well as fish and prepared appetizers.

About the estate:

The estate was established by Francis Fichet in 1976, breaking away from the Igé cooperative winery. His sons, Pierre-Yves and Olivier, who have been at the helm since 1999, now cultivate 35 hectares of vineyards, from which they produce some fifteen different wines made from the four Burgundy grape varieties. A reliable choice in the Mâconnais region, complemented in 2006 by a small wine merchant operation.
