A Family Estate Rooted in the Mâconnais Terroir

Château des Rontets is an exceptional wine estate located in Fuissé, at the heart of Burgundy’s Mâconnais region. Established in the 19th century, this family-run vineyard is now managed by Claire and Fabio Montrasi, who continue the tradition with passion and precision. Their dedication to biodynamic viticulture and artisanal winemaking allows them to craft wines of remarkable finesse and clarity.

Unique Terroirs for Outstanding Pouilly-Fuissé

The estate spans around ten hectares, primarily on elevated plateaus with full southern exposure, providing ideal conditions for Chardonnay. The soil, composed of Jurassic limestone and clay, imparts a vibrant minerality and refreshing tension to the wines. Signature vineyard plots such as “Les Birbettes” and “Clos Varambon” showcase distinct expressions of the Pouilly-Fuissé terroir, balancing depth with elegance.

Biodynamic Viticulture for Living Wines

For years, Claire and Fabio Montrasi have practiced biodynamic farming, respecting nature and promoting biodiversity. No herbicides or synthetic pesticides are used, and the soils are carefully maintained to preserve their vitality. The grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring optimal ripeness and exceptional aromatic concentration in every vintage.

Natural and Precise Winemaking

In the cellar, Château des Rontets favors slow fermentations with native yeasts and extended aging in oak barrels, often on fine lees. This approach enhances the wines' complexity while preserving their unique terroir identity. The estate’s cuvées are known for their perfect balance between richness and freshness, with notes of white fruits, toasted almonds, and flinty minerality.

Château des Rontets, a Benchmark in Pouilly-Fuissé

With its commitment to biodynamic principles and meticulous winemaking, Château des Rontets has become one of the Mâconnais region’s most celebrated estates. Highly sought after by lovers of fine Burgundy whites, these wines captivate with their elegance and impressive aging potential. Tasting a Pouilly-Fuissé from Château des Rontets is an invitation to explore the subtlety and richness of this exceptional terroir.
