Description
Initially intense notes of lemon, green apple and lime. Expressive white flowers. Ripe apricot, peach and subtle pineapple show with oxygenation. Dry and smooth, full-bodied. Intense notes of citrus, ripe plum and apricots. Completed with limestone minerality, which provides balance and adds to the long fruity finish.
Great with all kinds of seafood: sushi, white fish, and especially mussels and oysters. You can also enjoy it with a lighter meat like roast chicken breast or a stronger goat cheese.
Domaine Coteaux des Margots is perfectly nestled into the Mâcon hills of Southern Burgundy, just 5km from the start of the Beaujolais. 15 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay are sustainably farmed by Jean-Luc and Veronique Duroussay and their son Pierre in the gentle warmth of the Mâcon sun.
The Chardonnay for their Mâcon Blanc is then picked with good levels of acidity by both hand and machine before undergoing a gentle, relatively cool fermentation to help retain as much pure fruit and floral aroma as possible. The wine then spends a short time in lined concrete vats which helps add a little polish before bottling. The focus is on freshness and finesse in the cellar so there is absolutely and resolutely no oak used here, which means nothing interferes with the goal of producing perfect examples of beautifully textured and zippy Southern Burgundian Chardonnay.
