J.J. Vincent Julienas 'La Conseillere' 2010

Burghound 92
"A highly expressive and overtly floral nose also offers up notes of earth, pepper and spice hints. There is impressive intensity and richness to the brooding, powerful and very firmly structured medium-bodied flavors that possess outstanding length on the austere, backward and clearly built-to-age finish. I would only buy this with the intent to age it as its not likely to be a wine that will drink well young but on the other hand, it should be great in time." ~A.M.

J.J.Vincent produces a range of wines made with the same care and expertise as those made at the Vincent's historic domaine, Château Fuisse. Our Domaine is composed of plots is composed of a hundred or so parcels in the best locations situated in the center of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. These small, exceptional plots provide a mosaic of the most sought-after terroirs of the appellation. Our vineyard holdings in Saint-Véran and Mâcon-Villages, are spread out around the commune of Fuissé. In addition to these great white wines of Burgundy, we own a Domaine located in the commune of Juliénas in Beaujolais.

The Château de Fuissé's vineyards, located in southern Burgundy, cover more than 40 hectares (+100 acres) spanning five appellations, including:

Pouilly-Fuissé : 25 hectares/62 acres, Saint-Véran : 8 hectares/20 acres, Mâcon-Villages : 3 hectares/7.5 acres, Mâcon-Fuissé : 1 hectare/2.5 acres, Bourgogne-Blanc : 0.5 hectares/1.2 acres, Juliénas : 3 hectares.

Made primarily from grapes sourced from Mâconnais vineyards owned by members of Jean-Jacques Vincent's family, these wines are of extremely high quality and represent remarkable value. Maison J.J. Vincent wines are both lovely and approachable wines for immediate consumption and a great introduction to the Château Fuissé range of great wines.
