Region
The Mâconnais district lies in the south of the Burgundy wine region in France, west of the River Saône. It takes its name from the town of Mâcon. It is best known as a source of good value white wines made from the Chardonnay grape. The wines from Pouilly-Fuissé are particularly sought-after with 22 Premier Cru climats which all benefit from being planted on the Fuissé ampitheatre which gains the best sun and good soil drainage. Almost all the wine made in the Mâconnais is white wine. A little Pinot Noir is made into red Mâcon but only for local consumption.
Producer
Since 1957, the Nuiton-Beaunoy wine growers have been a part of the Vignerons des Terres Secrètes co-operative. The co-op`s approach is focussed on sustainability; more equity in an economic, social and ecological environment that puts people at the heart of the system. Their overall aim is to produce remarkable wines, in an approach respectful of their environment.
Tasting Notes
Vineyards are located within the commune of la Roche Vineuse on chalky and stony soils, and all grapes are hand harvested. Spontaneous fermentations in temperature controlled steel tanks, and 10% of the wine is matured in older french barrels, bottled partially unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of ripe lemons, crushed stones, zest, apples. Ripe and balanced with a fresh acidity.
Food
Perfect with shellfish or roast chicken and all the trimmings.
