Terroir
Our vines were planted in 1986 and located in the village of Azé.
Climat & Sol : South-east facing slope on a limestony terrace. Highest vineyards of the village of Azé, they benefit from a great sunny exposure
Winemaking and aging
To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested and sorted out by hand. Full clusters. Following the pneumatic press, juices stay in a vat overnight for a cool settling down. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in stainless steel vats.
Aging is 100% realized in stainless steel vats on fine lees 9 to 12 months.
Tasting notes
EYE : Lovely pale yellow with with green tints. Bright and clear.
NOSE : Intense with citrus notes (lime) and white flowers (hawthorn).
PALATE : Balanced and fresh, subtle acidity. Salivating. Citrus notes are predominant again. Harmonious
Service and cellaring
It can be served from now at 11-13° C or cellared for 3 to 5 years.
Food & wine pairings
Our Mâcon-Azé 2016 can be greatly enjoyed with a meal or just by the glass. It will perfectly match with grilles poultries, a seafood plater or fishes in a sauce.
