Ch.Fuissè - Maconnais


Ch.Fuissè produces excellent white wines under the Pouilly-Fuisè appelation. As in Burgundy and Chablis we are in Chardonnay country. Even though they are close to Burgundy, they are less lime/buttery and more mineral like wines, a bit like Chablis.


Ch Fuissè is situated in Pouilly not far from the local church (see picture) and close to Fuissè and to the granite based area of Beuajolais. However this Pouilly-Fuisè is more limestone like Burgundy.

The wines from Ch.Fuissè are crispy dry whites that need a bit of time on carafe or in an open bottle to fully show their potential. The taste is mineral like, fruity and a good mouthful with nice integrated acidity. The quality is consistent even in a difficult white wine year like 2003.

Ch.Fuissè is open for visitors Monday to Friday before lunch and until 1730 after lunch. Some parts of the chateaux are from the 15th century.

Bordeaux- Le prelat du Ch. Pape Clement 2004

This is one of two second wines of the famous and expensive Ch. Pape Clement in Graves. Although young,  2004, this wine drinks really well already if you put it on carafe a couple of hours before consumption. Dark red colour, with a very attractive smell of blueberries and dark berries, its a full bodied wine with firm but nice tannins that goes best with some food. 2004 although not the best of vintages, keep surprising me with good drinkable wines at affordable prices, because from 2005 and onwards there is a big step up in prices.... Grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon 60% and Merlot 40% Price around 20€ P+

Ogier Chateauneuf du Pape 2010

This is a quite reasonable Chateauneuf du Pape (ca 200 NOK or 15€). The colour is medium ruby color which was a bit surprising. Nose of ripe black cherries and liquerice with a medium + body and finish with firm tannins. The wine can be drunk now but has definitely the potential for ageing (5-10 years). Chateauneuf du Pape 2010, Ogier Bring out the steak!
