Lots of freshness, dense and rich mouthfeel, with delicate little oak towards the finish. Balanced, concentrated, fresh, and rich harmony. Ageing potential: Vintage + 5 years
Pairs well with crustaceans, shellfish, grilled or smoked fish, chicken and veal, composed salads, pastries and pies, pasta, sushi & sashimi, spiced foods, or as an aperitif drink.
The Mâcon-Villages is a blend of different vineyards in the South of Maconnais, predominantly situated on the mid-slopes where the richer soils from erosion mix with the limestones.
The mid-slopes benefit from perfect exposure to the sun assuring optimal maturation conditions and good drainage. The result is an optimal “phenolic ripeness” that brings lots of yellow stone fruit character in our wines, balanced by the mineral influence of the chalky soils and the natural freshness of the vintage.
We choose stainless for fermenting to preserve the purity of this fruit and to underline the “salin” from the limestone bedrock.
The most complete and balanced wine is a blend of different vineyards by enhancing the complementary character between the origins. This is the job of Antoine VINCENT as a wine-maker to bring harmony between the origins, a longstanding tradition as for the wines of Château-Fuissé.
J.J. Vincent & Fils sources a part of its grapes from family holdings. This privileged relationship allows a “proprietor” control of the culture of the vineyard and the quality of the grapes.
