Château Fuissé

Château Fuissé is the flagship estate of Pouilly-Fuissé, with origins traceable to the early 17th century and continuous Vincent family ownership since 1862. Antoine Vincent, representing the fifth generation, has led the estate since 2003 and overseen a significant expansion of its reputation, particularly following Pouilly-Fuissé's elevation to include Premier Cru classifications in 2020. The estate covers over 40 hectares with 25 in Pouilly-Fuissé across more than 100 individual plots, making it the appellation's largest single proprietor. The showpiece is Le Clos, a 2.68-hectare monopole at the heart of the Fuissé village, classified Premier Cru in 2020, which has been in the estate since 1862. Antoine has modernised the winery while preserving traditional barrel-aging methods, producing Chardonnay of unusual depth and aging capacity for the Mâconnais. At auction, Tête de Cru and Le Clos represent the most sought-after Pouilly-Fuissé, trading at $60–$180 per bottle — exceptional value for wines of this quality.
