WINE DESCRIPTION
This Mâcon-Villages Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is a standout white Burgundy from Domaine Chêne, a family estate with five generations of winemaking tradition, situated in Berzé-la-Ville between Mâcon and Cluny. Crafted from the estate’s oldest vines, the fruit for this wine benefits from a prolonged hang-time, enhancing concentration. The winemaking process adheres to traditional methods and sustainable practices; it features minimal intervention with indigenous yeasts and stainless steel fermentation. The result is an elegant, richly concentrated expression of Mâcon’s terroir, offering a refined taste of classic Burgundy finesse.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine Chêne Mâcon-Villages Cuvée Vieilles Vignes offers a beautiful bouquet of ripe apple, citrus zest, and subtle toasted nuts, with hints of tropical fruit and buttered brioche.On the palate, it reveals a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a concentrated, lingering finish. This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, creamy seafood dishes, or a charcuterie board featuring aged cheeses. For the best experience, enjoy it within a few years after release and serve slightly chilled to accentuate its freshness and complexity.
