Château Fuissé - Saint-Véran 2023
90/100
Vinous
"The clay-limestone soils reveal themselves in a generous, saline wine.
"Saint-Véran 2023 comes from three sources (Les Cras, Le Clos and haut du Chasselas) vinified separately, aged in stainless steel and bottled after nine months. It has a fresh, muscatel-tinged bouquet, with a richer but still well-defined style. The palate is well-balanced, with good volume and density. The style is quite minty, and the finish is of admirable breed. There's no doubt that this will be very good value for money and is recommended." (Vinous 2024)

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
This historic estate has belonged to the Vincent family since 1862. The château boasts many old vines. Since 2003, Antoine Vincent has vinified all the major Mâconnais appellations here, including two Premier Crus in Fuissé, as well as a small 3-hectare vineyard in Juliénas. In 2020, we salute the mastery of woody ageing and the more homogeneous management adapted to this great vintage.
