Mâcon-Villages
|
Area of Production: The Macon is located in southern Burgundy, stretching from Tournus to Saône et Loire. The appellation covers nearly 8,650 acres and is dedicated to the growth and production of white wines such as Macon-Villages, Saint-Véran, Pouilly Fuissé and Pouilly Vinzelles.
Varietal: Chardonnay Alcohol: 12.5% Wine Notes: Yellow color with greenish tints. It has a fresh, forward nose blending notes of honeysuckle, fresh almonds and honey aromas. The immediate impression is crisp and fresh, with a bright mineral aspect revealed on the finish. Wine Making Technique: Manual picking allows for rigorous grape selection during the harvest. After a slight settling of the juice, fermentation occurs with 80% in stainless steel and 20% in used barrels (neutral oak) for 6-9 months. This small part of oak ageing adds texture and complexity to the wine but does not overtly “flavor” the wine in any way nor produce any oaky aromas. Recommended Pairings: Poultry and white meats, seafood and shellfish, sushi, grilled veggie salads as well as fresh goat and blue cheeses. UPC Code: 089475311019 |
