Description

Joseph Drouhin
Macon-Villages

DESCRIPTION:

• • Macon is a large area located in the Southern part of Burgundy, next to Pouilly-Fuissé.
  • The clay and limestone soil of the Jurassic era found in this region is well suited for the Chardonnay grape variety.
  • The grape juice ferments in stainless-steel fermenters at a rather low temperature.
  • Bottling is done early in the spring following the harvest.

GRAPE VARIETY:

• • 100% Chardonnay

2024 VINTAGE:

• • Challenging weather conditions left their marks on 2024 harvest, yet thanks to meticulous grape sorting and precise vinification, we achieved wines of remarkable quality, though in limited quantities.
  • The extended sunshine through mid-September gave the white wines a beautiful balance, revealing aromas of fresh fruit and citrus, delicately mingled with hints of almond and white blossom.
  • Elegant and refined, they offer both freshness and purity on the palate.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

• • It is a perfect accompaniment to full-flavored fish dishes and charcuterie.
  • Or try it alone as an aperitif.
  • As with other white wines, Macon-Villages should be served chilled but not cold.
  • It is meant to be enjoyed when young, the wine being at its best after one or two years of aging.

TASTING NOTES:

“The color of the wine is bright and limpid. The nose is floral and fruity. Very straightforward and direct on the palate, as if biting into a grape. Fresh and light, with a very pleasant aftertaste.” – Véronique Boss-Drouhin
