Château des Rontets

On the border of the Mâconnais and Beaujolais, the Château des Rontets enjoys an exceptional location overlooking the village of Fuissé. Claire and Fabio Gazeau-Montrasi took over this family estate in 1994 and run it organically with talent. It must be said that they deliver here racy and intense Pouilly-Fuissé, fruits of exceptional terroirs, perched at more than 350m. Here each plot of the estate seems to be in itself a micro-climate. The fauna and flora are still largely developed, Claire and Fabio highlighting agroforestry for sustainable viticulture. In the cellar, observation and patience are key words. The elevations are long, largely in large oak containers (barrels) and the couple knows how to adapt to each vintage, always looking for freshness at advanced maturity. The wines are of a crazy class!
