Terroir
We own 1 plot of Mâcon-Bussières planted in 1980. Plot’s name is also called ‘Pierre Aigüe’
Climat & Soil : full East exposure. The soil is mainly silty and sandy with limestony subsoil. Warm and draining surface giving amplitude and concentration to the grapes.

WINEMAKING AND AGING
TTo 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 during 10 to 12 months.

TASTING NOTES
EYE : Lovely and bright white gold colour.
NOSE : Powerful and mature nose developing ginger and nutmeg flavors
PALATE : The palate is round and powerful offering a nice intensity and a long aftertaste.

SERVICE AND CELLARING
It can be served from now at 11-13°C or cellared for 3 to 5 years.

FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS
Our Mâcon-Bussières 2016 will perfectly pair with a plate of fresh goat cheeses, white fishes as monkfish and salmon or a Bresse chicken.
