Domaine Robert Denogent

Fuissé

It was at the very beginning of the 20th century that Claude Denogent inherited his father's vines. In 1922, he bought with his wife, Marie, the property of Fuissé. For nearly fifty years, he went back and built the estate vine by vine. It was in 1971 that he handed over the keys to the business to his daughter Andrée Denogent, wife Robert.

In 1988, his son Jean-Jacques Robert decided to take over the family business then made up of a 5-hectare vineyard on the terroirs of Fuissé and Solutré-Pouilly, which was to take the name of Domaine Robert-Denogent. He gives the estate its letters of nobility by practicing very long aging in oak barrels and by bottling all of its production.

Today, Domaine Robert-Denogent operates around thirty 10-hectare plots spread over five municipalities (Fuissé, Davayé, Solutré-Pouilly, Charnay-les-Mâcon, La Chapelle-de-Guinchay) planted with Chardonnay and Gamay.
