Tasting Note:
Fragrant minerals, white fruit and floral aromas are abundant on the nose. It is powerfull and concentrated on the palate with plenty of peach, apple and ripe pear fruits coating its multi faceted mineral edge. The finish stays full and stony, with a citrus finish.
Vinification Note:
Hand harvested from steeply sloping, south and south easterly facing vineyards around the village of Vergisson, 12km to the South of Mâcon. The grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press. After letting the wines settle all the juice is placed in barriques where it undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The lees are stirred regularly (batonnage) which adds to the overall complexity of the finished wine. The wine spends 8 to 11 months in barriques depending on the vintage.
