Mâcon-Villages //​ Domaine des Gandines

Lovely pale yellow colour with bright green hues. The nose develops fresh citrus and lime aromas with light salty notes. The palate is well balanced with a vibrant acidity. The wine expresses all the character of a Mâcon Chardonnay with fresh aromas of white flowers, yellow fruits, and citrus.

Winemaking

Grapes are hand harvested and carefully hand sorted at the winery. Wild fermentation using natural yeasts is controlled at low temperatures and allowed to complete until dryness. Some malolactic fermentation occurs, lending a richness to the palate however it is not controlled. This wine is then aged on lees for 6 months. It is then bottled unfined and unfiltered.
