Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cuvée, Château-Fuissé, 2020
- White Still
- Chardonnay
Crafted from Chardonnay grapes sourced from over 40 estate parcels, Château-Fuissé Tete de Cuvée 2020 is a real stunner from Burgundy, with a delightful interplay of stone fruit notes, a smooth texture, and vibrant acidity.
Château-Fuissé boasts a storied history, with sections of the main house tracing back to the 15th century. In the capable hands of the Vincent family since 1862, fifth-generation winemaker Antoine Vincent, supported by his sister Benedicte and father Jean-Jacques Vincent, now leads the estate, blending tradition with innovation to create wines of exceptional quality.

What the critics say:
"A restrained nose is ripe but cool with its fresh aromas of white peach, apple, tangerine and lemon-lime nuances. There is very good richness to the rich and generous medium-bodied flavors that deliver solid length on the saline-inflected, clean and dry finish. This delicious effort will need to develop better depth but historically this cuvée has done just that if given a chance."
"A touch of colour, with a southern ripeness but not too soft, very alluring then with a breadth of flavour and a considerable oakiness, which the fruit can handle. Length, breadth and depth. 13.5 % alcohol. Drink from 2023-2027. Tasted Mar 2023 ****"
