The terroirs of South Burgundy, with their south/southwest orientation, have been vineyards since Gallo-Roman times. Its limestone subsoils are ideal for the expression of Chardonnay to be drunk young, in all simplicity! This Mâcon-Villages truly captures the essence of white Burgundy with notes of summer meadows and mandarin oranges, plus a hint of chalky character

TASTING NOTES
COLOR: Pale golden color

WINE & FOOD PAIRING | Perfect with appetizers, salads, shellfish, oysters, seafood, fish, and white meat or poultry.
VINIFICATION | Following harvest, the grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and the juice is statically settled for 24 hours at 12°C. The musts are then put directly into vats. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, as well as maturation, are carried out in stainless steel vats.
AGING | 10 months in stainless steel tanks on total lees to preserve freshness and "lock in the fruit," the greatest attribute of Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay.
PRODUCER | The skills and know-how at Prosper Maufoux have been at the service of a wide range of Burgundian appellations since 1860. Whether they are regional appellations or Grand Crus, the firm remains equally exacting in terms of vine tending techniques, grape quality, vinification and maturing; always aiming at getting the very best from each terroir.
