The Château de Fuissé is located in the heart of the Mâconnais vineyards in southern Burgundy. In this famous region, the Vincent family (owners of the estate since 1852), produce wines of an exceptional quality thanks to the estate's outstanding location.Jean-Jacques Vincent, the current owner since 1966, who as an agricultural engineer and oenologist, has dedicated his life to the running of the family estate. The majority of the estate's 30 hectares of vineyards are located in the districts of FUISSÉ and POUILLY, halfway up the hillsides with a south-south-easterly aspect. The soil with its variable proportions of clay and chalk give the wines both structure and elegance.The vines are cared for using traditional methods and are harvested separately and manually according to "climat" (plot). Vinification is carefully adapted, according to the parcel from which it is produced. Following fermentation, the wines are left on lees for a period of nine-months, then drawn off and blended, taking account of the complementary characteristics of each parcel, then slightly filtered.Read less
