Château-Fuissé - Famille Vincent

Château-Fuissé - Famille Vincent

The Vincent family at Château Fuissé make some of the most carefully crafted wines in the Mâconnais.

Antoine Vincent is the winemaker, having taken over from his well-known father, Jean-Jacques, while his sister Bénédicte and her husband Philip Tuinder run the commercial side. The family has been at the Virginia creeper-clad château since 1862, although the domaine dates from 1368. Inside its 15th century tower there are antiques, tapestries and even a suit of armour which has provided some amusement during our tastings! The domaine stands at 50 ha of which half lies in Pouilly-Fuissé and the rest split between Saint-Véran, Mâcon and Juliénas. Their vines are all cultivated with limited use of synthetic treatments. Their ‘Tête de Cuvée’ is a masterful blend from many sites. Le Clos is our favourite of their three excellent single vineyard wines and comes from a gently sloping site, situated just behind the château. It has recently been designated 'premier cru'. “The respect for terroir, the vintage and the Chardonnay varietal are the three essentials of the Château de Fuissé wines,” says Antoine. His wines have a natural ripeness and mineral freshness complimented by a judicious amount of oak, usually spending nine months in barrel on their lees.

Vintage guide

A warm season but with cooler nights, 2022 looks to have brought both excellent quality and, importantly, a decent quantity. The 2021 vintage was heavily affected by frost meaning quantities are well down though the quality is very good. 2020 was historically early and regarded as a great vintage. 2019 is a worthy successor to the excellent ‘18s, where low yields have given very concentrated wines. A seriously good vintage here in 2018 as the region escaped the frosts which have plagued recent years. They have a good crop of rich, aromatic whites across the region as a result. Despite a familiar and now all-too-frequent late frost in 2017 the growers in the Côte d’Or were better prepared and the vintage has delivered excellent results, with many domaines back to ‘normal’ yields. In the Mâconnais and Chablis growers were not quite so lucky with yields down for the second year but wines of excellent quality. What there is in 2016 is very good but sadly frost and hail had a bigger than usual impact this year, particularly in Chablis and the Mâconnais, but almost no-one escaped unscathed. 2015 produced round, full whites with good, ripe fruit. 2014 started well enough with an early spring but a cooler than average summer, and hailstorms in the south, reduced yields. The resultant wines, however, have elegance and beautiful balance. A cold season in 2013 meant yields were low but good growers have produced some very drinkable wines.
