Product notes

The vines making up our Mâcon-Azé were planted in 1986, located in the town of Azé. The vines are facing south-east on a limestone vault. Located on the heights (highest vines) of the town of Azé, they benefit from very good sunshine.

Production notes

To preserve their quality, the grapes are harvested by hand, then the harvest is sorted manually and completely destemmed. Pressed in a pneumatic press, the juices remain in vats at a controlled temperature for 24 to 30 hours undergoing a static cold settling. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats at low temperature. The malolactic fermentation is carried out at 100%. The wine is matured for 12 months at 100% in stainless steel vats, on fine lees.

Tasting notes

Beautiful bright yellow color. The nose is very mineral with notes of white pepper and a hint of smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and fruity with aromas of pineapple. Its finish is mineral. Pairing with vegetarian quiche, shrimps and cheese

16,5/20

(Vintage 2017)

Vinifié et élevé à 100% en cuves inox, ce Macon Azé révèle de beaux arômes fins d’agrumes, de chèvrefeuille... Le vin est frais, dense et charnu, avec de belles saveurs de lemon curd et une finale saline.
