The granite-based soils and northern exposure give this wine its signature freshness and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard, replanted in 2009, lies on a steep 30% slope that benefits from cool breezes and late budburst, ensuring slow ripening and exceptional aromatic intensity. Its proximity to Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé contributes to the refined character that defines this Bourgogne Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes are hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed using pneumatic presses with gentle, progressive cycles. Fermentation begins naturally with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to preserve purity and terroir character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is matured on fine lees with periodic stirring (bâtonnage) to add roundness and texture. Most vintages undergo full malolactic fermentation to balance acidity. Final fining is done with natural bentonite clay before a light filtration and bottling under high-quality cork or technical closures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: Bright yellow with green reflections and excellent clarity.\u003cbr\u003eNose: Fresh citrus and white flowers, pure and intense.\u003cbr\u003ePalate: Lively and rounded, showing lemon, green apple and mineral tones with fine structure and balance.\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Fresh and elegant with persistence and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest enjoyed within five years of vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinery: Château de Fuissé\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc (Chasselas)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariety: 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage: 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyard Area: 0.5 ha (“Aux Drus”)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYield: 55 hl\/ha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol: 13% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: White – Fresh and Mineral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweetness: Dry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaturation: Stainless steel on lees\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker: Antoine Vincent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwnership: Famille Vincent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction: Approx. 3,500 bottles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosure: Natural or technical cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Temperature: 11 °C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent as an aperitif or with oysters, crustaceans, goat cheese, quiche, or parsley ham.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060232110315,"sku":"SK68f8805a04c5b","price":51.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/1022\/0779\/files\/2023Chateau-FuisseBourgogneBlanc750ml.png?v=1763079516","url":"https:\/\/lionscellar.com.au\/products\/2023-chateau-fuisse-bourgogne-blanc-750ml","provider":"Lion's Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
