WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Vignes du Maynes Mâcon-Villages Blanc is a distinguished creation by the Guillot family, proprietors of the historic Clos des Vignes du Maynes estate in Cruzille. Cultivated without chemicals across seven hectares of prime Burgundian terroir, this Chardonnay epitomizes biodynamic winemaking at its finest. Under Julien Guillot's stewardship, the vineyards have been converted to biodynamic practices, yielding impressive ecological harmony within just a few years. The wine, aged for an extensive 30 months, reflects the essence of its origin: the premier slopes of the Saône Valley. Bathonian limestone subsoil, coupled with clay-laden topsoil, imparts a profound minerality to the wine. Hand-harvested and meticulously vinified with native yeasts, the wine undergoes a slow fermentation and extended aging on lees. Bottled with minimal sulfur, it showcases the pure expression of its pristine terroir, earning its place among the finest offerings from the southern reaches of Burgundy.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine Vignes du Maynes Mâcon-Villages Blanc is a delightful white wine from the Mâcon in Burgundy, France.On the nose, it offers a bouquet of delicate floral notes, such as white flowers and honeysuckle, accompanied by hints of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit. These aromas create an inviting and refreshing experience.
On the palate, the Mâcon-Villages Blanc reveals a well-balanced structure with a medium body. The flavors of crisp green apple, juicy pear, and zesty lemon zest take center stage, providing a harmonious blend of fruitiness and acidity. The wine's lively acidity adds a refreshing and invigorating touch, making it a perfect companion for warm summer days or light seafood dishes.
