About

Cuvée Marie Antoinette is a tribute to Jean Jacques (JJ) Vincent’s mother, Marie-Antoinette Vincent. The wine is sourced from several parcels including young vines from the Château Fuissé vineyards of Le Clos, Les Brûlés and Les Combettes as well as several non-domaine yet family-owned parcels throughout the appellation.

Terroir

The winery selections have evolved towards the vinification of wines from carefully selected fruit from the Mâconnais and Beaujolais. This Cuvee is a tribute to our grandmother, Marie-Antoinette Vincent, as part of the grapes are sourced from family holdings.

Vinification

To respect the integrity of the grapes we prefer handpicked grapes and special care is given to the transport and conveying until the presses (whole bunch pressing). We use pneumatic presses with graduate progressive pressing (max. 2 bars), adaptable to the quality and maturity of each harvest. The juice is pumped directly into stainless decantation tanks (débourbage).
After 12 hours of static rest, we separate the clear juice from the top and eliminate the remaining depot of the tank (heavy bourbes). We then start the alcoholic fermentation on fine lees in stainless tanks followed generally by the malolactic fermentation.
Each of our plots are vinified separately and blended progressively after racking and regular tasting by our wine-maker Antoine Vincent. If necessary, a fining is applied with bentonite (natural clay) and a light filtration. The final Cuvée will rest for an extended period in temperature-controlled tanks until the bottling.

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow color with hints of green. You get on the nose a touch of oak, lots of finesse and minerality with white flowers, lemon and apple scents. On the mouth, the wine is fresh, round and fruity with aromas of melon, kiwi, peaches and apricot and a nice minerality. Overall, the wine is nicely balanced and fresh with a great length

Food Pairing

This minerality of this wine will make it the perfect match for wonderfully noble fish and white meat.

A rich version, bordering on creamy, this peach-, apple- and stone-inflected white is complex and long, with fine balance and a long aftertaste that resonates with fruit and mineral notes. Drink now.
