Genetie Mâcon-Charnay (France)
Genetie Mâcon-Charnay (France)
Think freshly cut hay on the nose and crunchy plums on the palate with candied citrus peel and lemongrass. This elegant, delicately oaked white Burgundy is really a presentation of Chardonnay at its best, at a wonderfully palatable price! Fresh, floral aromas with great depth, ripe stone fruits and a rich texture from ageing on lees.
Plots within the Mâcon-Charnay-lès-Mâcon appellation lie on the higher slopes of the Mont du Mâconnais, where soils are varied but limestone is prevalent. Here Chardonnay ripens under a Continental climate (typically cold winters followed by warm springs and almost Mediterranean sun in the summer). The final blend is kept on fine lees until bottling, combining the warmth of southern Burgundy with the elegance and finesse of the special terroir of Mâcon-Charnay-lès-Mâcon.
A versatile wine for pairing with food but pairs great with chicken in cream sauce, shellfish chowder or mushroom and asparagus risotto.
