A nose of white flowers, with a lovely roundness on the palate and aromas of peach.
The nose makes an immediate and pleasant impression with a bouquet of mayflowers or acacia, springtime honeysuckle, and bloom, together with notes of lemon balm, white peach, verbena, and mint or bracken. As the wine ages, quince jam and pine make their appearance. Lively and fresh, with a slight edge and yet well-rounded, this wine is a reliable introduction to the Mâconnais whites.
This young estate was established in 2008 and spans over 15 hectares of vineyards. The vines are cultivated using integrated pest management with partial grassing. Gradually, the soils are worked by ploughing, in order to reveal the typicality of the terroirs, protect them from erosion and reduce inputs.
