Description:
Jean-Paul Paquet succeded his fater in 1978 when he inherited the 3 hectare domaine. After careful investment the domaine now accounts for 12 hectares and in 1989 Domaine de Fussiacus was created. The name Fussiacus comes from a Roman who built a villa where the village of Fuisse now stands and is considered to be Fuisse's founding father.
Domaine de Fussiacus concentrates on producing Chardonnay and this Pouilly Fuisse is made from old vines(Villes Vignes). This has produced a very rich style of wine balanced by crisp acidity and a tight core of citrus and mineral flavours.

Domaine de Fussiacus concentrates on producing Chardonnay and this Pouilly Fuisse is made from old vines . A wine full of character this pale yellow coloured wine is showing a fruit driven nose with hints of nut. Good minerality and weight on the palate this is a well-balanced Chardonnay with lovely texture and finish. (12 x 75 cl)
The vines used in this Chardonnay are atleast 30 and upto 60 years old. After oak ageing in the winery this is a well made wine showing harmony and longevity. The Chateau de Fuisse is located in the heart of the Maconnais vineyards in southern Burgundy. In this famous region, the Vincent family , produce wines of an exceptional quality thanks to the estate's outstanding location. Jean-Jacques Vincent, the current owner since 1966, is the worthy heir to this proud family heritage, as an agricultural engineer and oenologist, he has dedicated his life to the running of the family estate. He ensures that the authenticity of the product is constantly respected through a judicious combination of new technology and traditional methods. The majority of the estate's 30 hectares of vineyards are located in the districts of Fuisse and Pouilly , halfway up the hillsides with a south-south-easterly aspect. The argilo-calcareous soil with its variable proportions of clay and chalk give the wines both structure and elegance. Of varying ages, the vines are harvested separately and manually according to the 'climats' concerned. The Chardonnay grapes are transferred whole to the estate where they undergo slow pneumatic pressing to gently extract all the goodness of the juice. The vines are cared for using traditional methods, applying sustainable viticulture and totally organic fertilizer, thereby safeguarding the future of the plots farmed, while at the same time respecting their individual characters. The soil is always farmed in parcels in order to limit erosion and guarantee authenticity. (12 x 75 cl)
