The Estate

The Bourgogne Blanc 2022 is produced under the JJ Vincent label, part of the Famille Vincent range created in 1985 by the Vincent family, owners of Château de Fuissé in Burgundy since 1862. Today led by Antoine Vincent, a trained oenologist and fifth-generation family member, the estate combines long-standing heritage with precise, parcel-based winemaking across the Mâconnais vineyards.

The Vineyard

This wine is sourced exclusively from chardonnay vineyards in the southern part of Burgundy, near Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé. The selected plots lie on naturally clay-rich soils as well as higher-altitude vineyards dominated by limestone, a combination that brings together ripeness, texture and mineral freshness.

Winemaking and aging

For the Bourgogne Blanc 2022, chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested and pressed as whole clusters in pneumatic presses under gentle, graduated pressure. The juice undergoes a 12-hour static settling in stainless steel tanks before alcoholic fermentation on fine lees, generally followed by malolactic fermentation. Each parcel is vinified separately before being blended, with light fining and filtration applied if needed, followed by an extended rest in temperature-controlled tanks. Around 70 % of the wine is vinified in stainless steel to preserve fresh fruit character, while the remaining 30 % is aged for about six months in oak barrels.
