Tasting Notes:
Elegant and pure, rich vanilla, pear, and pineapple aromas complemented by white floral notes through a citrusy finish. All the charm of a great Macon. 2023 was a classic Mâconnais-style vintage, with sunny weather during the ripening season, which led to an early harvest. Spring rainfall replenished the soil water reserves, contributing to the fruit's balanced profile at harvest. The wines are crisp, open and expressive and show great minerality.
About the Producer:
The Chardonnay vines are planted on a north-facing slope of the ‘Le Vieux Puits’ single vineyard in the Maconnais appellation. The vineyard is situated at an elevation of 200 metres and is tucked away with lovely exposure, which helps promote the grapes' ripening. The soils are rich in limestone, which is generally alkaline, and produce bright, crisp wines with renowned elegance and expressive aromatics.
The vines are pruned according to the simple Guyot method, which produces a balanced yield, with green harvesting taking place to keep yields low and concentrate the flavours in the grapes. The vineyard is ploughed mechanically, and every other row is left with grass cover to encourage biodiversity. The vines are cultivated using copper and sulphur treatments and are harvested at optimum maturity.
