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

About the estate:
Brother and sister Antoine and Bénédicte Vincent run this historic 40-hectare estate, spread across the Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon, and Juliénas appellations. The soils are worked, viticulture is sustainable, and the wines are aged in barrels from a single cooper to maintain consistency, with a rigorous approach. The wines are sold under a château range and a négociant range. It should be noted that the Clos and Les Brûlées cuvées are classified as premier cru from the 2020 vintage onwards.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
This historic estate has belonged to the Vincent family since 1862. The château has many old vines. Since 2003, Antoine Vincent has been producing the major appellations of the Mâconnais region here, including two premier crus in Fuissé, as well as a small 3-hectare vineyard in Juliénas. 2020 allows us to applaud the mastery of wood aging and the more consistent management suited to this great vintage.
