Château Fuissé - Saint-Véran 2023
90/100
Vinous
"The clay-limestone soils are reflected in a wine that is briny and full-bodied"
"The 2023 Saint-Véran comes from three vineyards (Les Cras, Le Clos, and the upper part of Chasselas), vinified separately, aged in stainless steel, and bottled after nine months. It offers a fresh bouquet with hints of Muscat, in a richer style yet still well-defined. The palate is well-balanced, with lovely body and density. The style is quite minty, and the finish is admirably elegant. There is no doubt that this will be excellent value for money and is highly recommended.” (Vinous 2024)

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.
