Chateau Vitallis Macon-Fuisse

This property, situated in heart of the picturesque village of Fuisse, is one of the few large estates in the area and covers 24 acres. It has been owned by the Dutron family since 1835. The vineyards are situated on Southeast facing slopes at an altitude of 750 to 900 feet in the villages of Fuisse and Solutre. The estate is known for its old vines, some of which are over 65 years old. The average age is 35 years. The present owner, Monsieur Denis Dutron uses traditional methods in the vineyards and in his temperature-controlled cellar. The use of stainless steel vats assures a long cool fermentation and preservation of the fruit and aromas. His wines are regular medal winners in the many competitions.

The Vitallis Macon-Fuisse comes from 35-40-year-old vines located in the village of Fuisse. Fermented in tank and aged for an extended time on its lees (6 months), this pours a gorgeous golden color and offers up heady notes of white peach, golden apple, lemon curd, white flowers, and chalky minerality. Highly Recommended!
