Technical Sheet |
St Véran is split into two distinct zones, either side of Fuissé, so when the northern part, around the village of Davayé, was hit hard by hail at the end of June (losing some 30-40% of the production) it was good news that the southern part around the village of Chasselas was untouched. Vinified entirely in tank, this is pale gold with a green glint with a gorgeous nose of juicy greengage fruit, very opulent and almost musky with layers of super-ripe fruit. Racy on the palate, juicy and mineral with a saline touch on the mid palate, intense with a long, fresh finish. Drink 2024 - 2027+

For a moment in the spring, Château Fuissé feared a re-run of the frosted 2021; a warm start to the year meant that the vines had budded early but, thankfully, a cold snap in April did little real damage. In common with many other growers, younger vines and those on less good soils struggled with the drought but the more established vineyards, particularly those where vines have already dug deep with their roots, managed to find the necessary moisture to keep maturing their fruit. The grapes had thicker skins than usual with a significantly lower juice to pulp ratio which seems to have lent further definition to the wines. Overall, yields were slightly lower than normal, particularly in St Véran where they were hit by hail, and the wines are superb, offering real poise and depth.
