Albert Bichot Mâconnais Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay 2018 (France)

Description

• French oak
• Acacia
• Honeysuckle
• Refreshing finish

The nose is fragrant with beautiful floral notes (acacia and honeysuckle) against a slightly mineral background. The palate is lively, fruity and floral with a refreshing finish. 

This vineyard is located in the Mâconnais region, in southern Burgundy, which differs from northern Burgundy, particularly because of its less harsh climate, but also its vineyards, which cover the hills and valleys of more than 80 villages. The vineyard is clay and sandstone overlying limestone bedrock. 

Grapes were vinified in oak barrels (20%) ad temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 6 wees to 2 months. 80% aged in tanks, 20% in barrels for 8 months.

Food Pairing: With a meal, this white  Mâcon-Villages is the perfect match for shellfish, seafood and white meats in cream, or full-flavoured cheeses.
