Maison Guillot Broux Macon-Villages Blanc

Varietal
Chardonnay

Notes
VINEYARD: Two hectares of densely planted vines on clay-limestone soils.

VINIFICATION: The Mâcon-Villages is a blend of several vineyards, some of which come from the domaine (roughly half), others from vineyards where Guillot-Broux purchases the grapes - all from certified organic vineyards or those in the process of converting - harvesting by hand and vinifying themselves. The white wines are pressed immediately in order to avoid any changes in the nature of the wine. The juice goes down to oak barrels in the cellar where both the first (alcoholic) and second (malolactic) fermentations take place. For this, the Maison Guillot-Broux Macon-Villages, the wine spends approximately 6 months in barrel, then after the second fermentation has completed, the wine is racked and transferred into vats for another 6 months.

TASTING NOTES: The resulting wine is a true likeness of the domaine’s Mâcon-Villages, with its fresh, mineral, and slightly citrus flavor, it gives an authentic Chardonnay from clayey limestone soils.
