In 1862 Claude Bulland, a farmer from neighbouring Vergisson who was looking for a farm to support his family, walked over to see a large building for sale in Fuissé. Though in poor condition, it had style, and beside it lay a walled vineyard of about 2.7 hectares. Bulland took out a bank loan, a rare step at the time, to buy the estate. Hard years followed, with the war against Prussia in 1870 and then the phylloxera crisis. Five generations have since succeeded one another, from Claude Bulland to Antoine Vincent today, each adding to the family estate. The vineyard now covers about forty hectares divided into more than a hundred plots. ## Architecture Château-Fuissé is a village house of character rather than a grand château. Its most striking feature is a 15th-century tower, flanked by two yews clipped in the shape of wine bottles, together with a Renaissance porch. Beside the house lies Le Clos, a vineyard enclosed by dry-stone walls in the Burgundian way, facing south-east and planted with vines more than fifty years old. ## Visiting The estate receives visitors for sales and tastings by appointment only, so book ahead through the official website or by phone. The house itself is the family's home. Fuissé is a small village at the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, with the Rock of Solutré and many other cellars close by. ## Did you know? In 2020 Le Clos, the walled vineyard beside the château, became the only monopole premier cru in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, meaning a single estate owns all of it. ## Around Château de Fuissé What to combine with Château de Fuissé on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Pouilly-Fuissé](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/pouilly-fuisse) (1 km away): Burgundy's great southern white, grown beneath the limestone cliffs of Solutré and Vergisson. - [Saint-Véran](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/saint-veran) (3 km away): Fresh Chardonnay from villages that wrap around Pouilly-Fuissé, beneath the Roche de Solutré. - [Viré-Clessé](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/vire-clesse) (20 km away): Two neighbouring villages of the Haut-Mâconnais, joined in one appellation for generous Chardonnay. ### Châteaux - [Château de Chasselas](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-chasselas) (2 km away): A three-towered castle with glazed-tile roofs in the Saint-Véran hills, long the heart of a wine estate. - [Château de Vinzelles](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-vinzelles) (2 km away): Two neighbouring castles above Vinzelles, linked by a vat house with great wooden wine presses. - [Château d’Estours](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-d-estours) (6 km away): A moated fortified house south of Mâcon, fought over by Écorcheurs and Mâcon militias. ### Things to do - [Domaine Luquet Depuis 1878](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-luquet-fuisse) (1 km away): A family estate in the heart of Fuissé since 1878, with six generations of Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran. - [Solutré Museum of Prehistory (Musée de Préhistoire de Solutré)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/musee-de-prehistoire-de-solutre), 2 km away: A half-buried museum at the foot of the rock, telling the story of Solutré's Ice Age hunters. - [Rock of Solutré (Roche de Solutré)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/roche-de-solutre), 2 km away: A limestone escarpment rising above the Pouilly-Fuissé vineyards, famous for its Ice Age hunters. ### Restaurants - [L’O des Vignes](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/l-o-des-vignes-fuisse) (1 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A Meilleur Ouvrier de France cooking in the heart of Pouilly-Fuissé. - [La Table de Chaintré](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/la-table-de-chaintre) (3 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): One menu a week, one husband-and-wife team, in a former village grocery near Mâcon. - [L’Auberge du Cep](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/auberge-du-cep-fleurie) (11 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A historic inn in the Beaujolais cru village of Fleurie, starred again since 2021. ## Questions about Château de Fuissé ### How far is Château de Fuissé from Beaune?
