Tasting Notes
With its golden yellow color, Mâcon-Charnay delivers all the fleshy opulence of southern Burgundy wines. Combining floral aspects (white flowers, acacia) and exotic fruit (mango) on the nose, this wine's clean attack is followed by generous volume and smoothness. Aged in traditional stainless-steel vats, it presents fresh, floral notes on the palate, without heaviness, evolving towards aromatic herbs and a basket of exotic fruit. This ripeness is echoed on the attack, complemented by a slightly saline finish. After 3 or 4 years' ageing, Mâcon-Charnay-les-Mâcon gains in complexity, without losing its balance and liveliness.
Average age of vines: 45 years
