Château-Fuissé’s Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cuvée is a standout white Burgundy—rich, elegant, and seriously good value. It opens with ripe, fragrant aromas, while the palate is fresh and focused, with crisp acidity, a touch of honey, and hints of praline and spice. It’s a beautifully balanced wine that punches well above its price point, especially in today’s white Burgundy market.
"A little oak evident on the nose. Succulent, ripe fruit with just enough balancing freshness coming from both acidity and minerality. Saline touch adds interest and keeps it lively."
Stewart Pryce, Gerrard Seel Buyer
Sourced from 40 parcels across clay-limestone soils, the blend brings together freshness from Pouilly’s limestone-rich sites and depth from the clay-heavy plots in Fuissé. Around 20% is aged in stainless steel for purity, with the rest in oak (20–30% new) for added texture and complexity.
We’ve been working with the Vincent family for over 20 years, their quality has been unwavering, and this cuvée continues to rival top names from Puligny or Meursault—without the hefty price tag.

Vintage report
The 2024 growing season in Burgundy was, frankly, a test of nerve. A wet spring brought significant mildew pressure, and vignerons who stayed sharp in the vineyard — working fast, keeping canopies open, reducing yields where necessary — came out the other side with something worth talking about. Summer brought warmer, drier conditions that helped the fruit recover composure, and harvest arrived broadly on the later side, with growers picking carefully to find phenolic ripeness without sacrificing freshness. Quantity was down across much of the Côte, which concentrates minds as much as it concentrates wine.
What emerged is a vintage that rewards those who put the work in. The Pinots we have tasted carry real precision and translucency — not because they are light, but because the acidity is lively and the fruit unforced. Chardonnays from the Côte de Beaune look particularly promising: taut, mineral, with genuine length. This is not a vintage to panic-open. Most village and premier cru reds want three to five years at minimum, with the better appellations drinking well until 2035 and beyond. The whites are more approachable now, though the best will reward patience too.
