Patriarche Mâcon-Villages Blanc 2024 (France)
A powerful yet harmonious wine
A powerful yet harmonious wine
Description
Floral, Nectarine, Unoaked
"A Chardonnay with an immediate sense of site and style with aromas and flavours of mineral with a limestone-like quality, then lemon and white peach with a fine lees frame. Crisp and dry with medium+ weight and acidity, little to no oak and a satin touch. Well made, balanced and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2025
Light yellow with beautiful green reflections. Frank nose with floral dominance opening with agitation on yellow fruits notes. Powerful and nervous, beautiful harmony of aromas,
rich and persistent.
Marking the southern frontier of Burgundy, the mounts of Mâconnais are located between the Côte Chalonnaise and the rock of Solutré. The slopes with eastern and southeastern exposure are established on varied soils (limestone and limey marl ideal for Chardonnay, clay or clay/flint, flinty soils on granitic or volcanic sub-soils). Supporting the blooming of the grape variety. The grapes selected for this Cuvée come from different zones of the Mâconnais to ensure a perfect balance of the wine.
The 2024 vintage produced moderate volumes but high quality. The year was marked by atypical weather, with rainfall well above normal levels. This was compounded by localised but severe frost and hail. These conditions are conducive to heavy disease pressure and require throughout the cycle, a huge amount of work to preserve the harvest. The whites stand out for their freshness and purity, two essential qualities of Burgundy whites. The reds are straight, with rich, gourmet aromas and an attractive garnet-red colour. The fine and delicate tannins give the wines a fine, elegant structure.
Traditional vinification by soft pressing of destemmed chardonnay bunches. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks (freshness and fruit), followed by a post alcoholic fermentation racking. Finally, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and minerality.
Food Pairing: Starters, salmon salad and white meat.
