2016  

Chardonnay is the grape variety for white Mâcon-Villages.

It is the southern part of Burgundy, stretching from Tournus to the southern border of Saône et Loire. These vines cover nearly 3,500 hectares and are dedicated to the production of white wines such as Mâcon-Villages, Saint-Véran, Pouilly Fuissé and Pouilly Vinzelles.

The area covers the entire Mâcon area. There are 43 communes with specific demarcation that define the Mâcon-Villages appellations. The vines cover a wide area in terms of soil variety and microclimates, offering the white Mâcon wines a wide palette. 200,000 hectolitres are produced every year.

This white Mâcon-Villages comes from vines located for the main part in Grevilly and Cruzille. Most of these vines are over 35 years old.

Colour: pale gold with green tints.
Nose: a fresh straightforward bouquet blending notes of ripe white fruits with a hint of vanilla
Palate: round, fruity, well balanced and fresh, with a very nice persisting finish

This pleasant wine goes perfectly with whitebait, poultry and white meats, snails, grilled tofu, vol-au-vents with sweetbreads, grilled chops, white pudding, chitterling sausage, a salad of sweet red peppers and cheeses such as dry goat’s cheese or a "blue cheese".

Serve at around 12-14 °C.

This wine can be consumed now or laid down in a cellar for the next 3 years.
