Mâcon-Bussières
Les Clos

DESCRIPTION:

• • The wines of the Mâconnais area offer a floral aromatic expression on a fresh structure. They are very pleasant right now.
  • Vineyard Site: a large terroir in the south of Burgundy, close to Pouilly-Fuissé. The village of Bussières is located on the beautiful “Mont du Mâconnais”.
  • Soil: clay and chalk dating from the Jurassic era are very favorable to the cultivation of the Chardonnay grape.
  • Yield: purposely low in order to extract all possible nuances from the terroir.
  • Pressing: very slow so as to respect the fruit. Juices from the last pressings are not retained. No artificial yeasts or enzymes are used.
  • Supply: grapes and must purchased from regular suppliers (long term contracts).
  • Ageing: part of the wine is aged in 500 litre oak barrels and the other part in stainless steel vats. Length: 6 to 8 months.

• • 100% Chardonnay
