Mâcon-Villages 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Grapes come from parcels within the Mâconnais area, yielding the highest-quality fruit of the harvest. Vineyard soils have a high percentage of chalk and limestone, which imparts mineral character and nuance. Mâcon-Villages is vinified with no oak contact to retain the elegant aromas and clean, fresh character that this region is prized for.
Harvest Note
The year began mildly, with warm weather in February and early March, April and May were cool and rainy, slowing growth and delaying flowering to early June. Temperatures rose to seasonal norms in July with abundant rainfall. August was drier and warmer followed by a cool September.
Tasting Note
The wine shows floral, apple and citrus aromas and flavors, with mineral notes; a classic expression of Chardonnay from this appellation.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
