Sourced from a generations-deep grower family, our special selection of Mâcon-Villages hits all the sweet spots—succulent fruit, a tangy energy pulled from the area’s chalky soils and balanced alcohol. Winemaker Thomas Perraud selects older-vine Chardonnay fruit from his peerless vineyards in La Roche Vineuse, one of the area’s top terroirs. Soils here are chalky and stony, which contributes to the wine its lacy texture and mineral-infused, sea-salty finish. This is value Chardonnay with serious soul, a blanc that will seduce and astound those who claim allegiance to Côte de Beaune whites.WINEMAKING: Hand-harvested. Pressed full-cluster; fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Aged primarily in tank; some 10% of the wine is aged in older French oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. TASTING IMPRESSIONS: Aromas of fresh herbs, ripe lemons, crushed stones, lime zest. Ripe and balanced; thirst-quenching. PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
