THE WINES
of Château Fuissé
The respect for our terriors.Thoroughly observing nature permits us to better understand it. We customize our viticultural practices according to the individual needs of our terriors, so each is able to clearly express its own character. | Top quality fruit.In order to fully achieve their potential, the grapes are harvested by hand at optimum maturity; whole-cluster pressing is done very slowly, so as to extract the best juice possible. | Careful attention to the wine.Month after month, our Cuvées age patiently. We opt to vinify our terriors in tank or in casks, of varying age, according to their individual characteristics. |
---|---|---|
In search of perfect balance.Each vintage guides us in finding the best balance for the wines. Regular tasting help us in adjusting and refining the maturation process. The different characteristics are then used in complementary ways for a perfect harmony of terrior expression. | Our Family.From generation to generation, our family has ensured the legacy of the Château de Fuissé wines. Its long familial experience guarantees the originality and quality of our wines. |
Our Signature Wines
Since 1985, in addition to the Château-Fuissé wines, we have introduced a range of complementary wines. These wines are made from carefully selected fruit from mostly family-owned vineyards and are vinified with the same expertise and passion as our wines of Château-Fuissé. Under the VINCENT signature, these wines are produced from Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâconnais appellation, selected crus of Beaujolais as well as the Crémant de Bourgogne appellation.
