Macon Villages £115.80

The Mâcon-Villages "Champ Brûlé" is a blend from three different villages. The vineyards from Vergisson (40%) give the mineral character and the finesse (limestone dominated soils) in the wine, Davayé (30%) ripe fruit and structure (clay dominated soils), whereas Prissé bring maturity and
power (mid slope exposure facing south).  The most complete and balanced wine is the blend of these three different origins together. It takes time and efforts to find the different components
for such wines but the result is worth the effort. Besides the origins there is the vinification of the different villages which allows the expressions. The richest origins are vinified in barrel for 7 to 9 months to underline and support the structure and the power. The more mineral and fruit driven origins are vinified in stainless tanks to preserve the purity of the aromas. The average age of the vines is 25 years.

Pale yellow color and light green. The nose is crisp, ripe and forward, exotic fruit as mandarins and orange, discrete vanilla, apples. While the palate has lots of freshness , dense and rich, delicate little oak towards the finish. Good balance, concentrated, fresh and rich.

Ageing potential: Vintage + 5 years.
