Product notes
Le Mâcon-Fuissé reste une appellation confidentielle dont le parcellaire jouxte celui du Pouilly-Fuissé. Sa situation sur les hauts côteaux confère une fraîcheur caractéristique mise en valeur par une vinification en cuve. Le Château possède 1 hectares en Mâcon-Fuissé.
Production notes
Some of the vines have been replanted recently, for the other plots, the average age is 25 years. The pressing of the whole grapes is done in pneumatic presses in order to best adapt the pressing to the quality and maturity of the grapes. The wines are vinified in stainless steel vats in order to preserve the purity of the fruit, the floral notes and the minerality. The tanks benefit from a thermoregulation system.
