The wine region of Pouilly-Vinzelles
Communal AOC of southern Maconnais (villages Vinzelles and Loche, AOC 1940, clay-limestone hillsides): exclusive signature Chardonnay as white king — pale yellow robe with golden reflections, complex nose of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white fruits (apple, pear), white flowers and buttery nuances, frank attack, freshness-roundness balance, mineral persistence. Semi-continental climate with oceanic and Mediterranean influences, ages 10 years with honey notes.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
