Mâcon-Igé "Grand Terroir" 2021

Chardonnay 75 cl

Our Mâcon-Igé "Grand Terroir" is made from low lying vines in the commune of Igé, north of the town of Mâcon. The soil is composed of marl and clay on a limestone substratum, hence the minerality often present in the crus of this appellation.

Tasting : Our Mâcon-Igé "Grand Terroir" offers a perfect harmony between freshness and fruit aromas. Its woody notes show a good ageing potential. On the palate we find intense and well-balanced notes evoking a beautiful vivacity.
Wine & Food Pairing : White meat, Grilled or roasted fish, Soft cheeses (Brie, Camembert, Comté...)

Description

The history of Igé is inseparable from that of the hamlet of Domange, whose original parish centre is the church of Saint-Pierre, built around 953 by the monks of Cluny. The vineyards of the Mâcon-Igé appellation adjoin Azé to the north and Verzé to the south, where the landscape widens into a vast elongated basin.

Press note

89 /100 | avr. 2023

Plenty of lime-zest and flint aromas in the nose, then with lemon-juice and salt character on the sleek palate, this has quite a challenging style, but plenty of character. The touch of tannin at the moderately dry finish also won’t be for everyone. Sustainable.

On aime son nez intense qui donne immédiatement envie de s'y plonger, sur les notes de fruits blancs confits, la bouche est agréable, complexe, avec de la fraîcheur sur les agrumes avec une jolie amertume finale.
