The Macon-Villages is produced from old vines that are located in the parcel called "Les Sertaux", in the village of Bussiere. The wine is harmonious, fresh and clean exhibiting aromas of fresh apple, lemon, orange blossom, white flower. Pure, crisp, silky and fine texture. Ripe fruit flavors and good acidity.
Excellent with poultry served with a creamy sauce. (The locals enjoy it with Poulet de Bresse / Bresse Chicken). It is also divine with goat cheese.
"From two parcels in the commune of Bussières, the 2019 Mâcon-Villages has a bright apricot and peach scented bouquet. This wine is one of the most perfumed that I have chanced upon in this vintage. The palate is well balanced and quite "fat" in the mouth with a playful, peachy finish. - Neal Martin"
