MÂCON-IGÉ 2024

Production area

Mâcon-Igé belongs to the regional appellation Mâcon from the Mâconnais vineyard, that spreads on 3 868,27 ha (including 3 345,82 ha of Chardonnay) at an altitude varying between 100 and 400 meters above the sea level.

Origins

The Mâconnais terroir differs significantly from that of the more northern regions of Burgundy.
Igé is located halfway between Cluny and Mâcon in the heart of the Mâcon vineyards.
The latter enjoys an enviable place in Burgundy, since it is the first to feel the sweetness of the south ... The landscape, all round, harmoniously alternates groves, fields and vines on the best exposed hills.
The geology offers marl-limestone subsoils suitable for white wines.

Varietal

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

COLOR: Yellow gold with brilliant highlights.
NOSE: Very expressive, with notes of yellow fruit, white flowers, and citrus zest.
PALATE: Delicious and balanced, with lovely acidity that brings length and tension to this very attractive wine.

Vinification and maturing

Once the grapes have been sorted and destemmed, the must is extracted using pneumatic pressing, then cooled and left to settle for around 24 hours. The clear juice obtained is then inoculated with selected yeasts to carry out alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature. The wine is also aged in stainless steel vats on fine lees to preserve all the freshness and varietal aromas typical of Chardonnay. A small proportion of the blend is aged in barrels to add roundness and richness to the final blend.

Food and wine pairing

This wine is perfect paired with mixed salads, sushis, poultry and veal in cream sauce, creamy risotto with meat, poultry or fish and goat cheeses.

Serving suggestions

10-12°C

Ageing potential

Best served young, but can be cellared for up to 3 to 5 years.

Vintage : 2024

Despite near-normal temperatures, the 2024 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a lack of sunshine. In the vineyard, our team worked hard to fight the diseases caused by frequent rainfall and this lack of sun. In the winery, the meticulous sorting allowed us to select only the best grapes and to make the most of this vintage’s quality potential. Quality is on point: the whites are expected to be very elegant while the reds are already fruity and structured.
