Mâcon Villages 2010

Grape Variety : Chardonnay

Soil : Clay and limestone

Site : In the South of Burgundy, in the Mâconnais. An area located between the communes of Mâcon, Lugny and Tournus.

The Vintage 2010 : After a very cold winter and a demanding spring, the hot summer was regularly interrupted by cold and rainy intervals which early September gave way to a bright and warm weather, that speeded up the maturation of the grapes. Harvest began in the last days of September under a bright sunshine. The white wines are tense with a tight texture underlined by a mineral overlay and an outstanding acidity.

Tasting : Pale gold colour. Delicate floral fragrances mixed with honey on a mineral note. Well balanced. Good acidity and subtle minerality. Refreshing aftertaste.

Food pairing : Charcuteries, fish and all sorts of mild cheeses.
