Mâcon rouge

Les Perrières

 

 

Our red Macon wine comes from a very rocky plateau dominating the village of Champvent. Growing the gamay variety has returned almost secretly to this part of the Maconnais region where chardonnay dominates the landscape by more than 90%. This rare vintage is an invitation to enjoy a privileged moment.

 

 

The Parcel : A place name common in Burgundy, the notion of “Perrières” is a complete and explicit indication of the nature of the soil. It is also here that the vineyard adjoins the rocky track along the crest that was regularly frequented by men and their working animals.

Age of the vines : Between1970 et 1992

Vinification : In inox vats and then transferred to a barrel of 500 litres

LAying down : 4 to 7 years

Serving : Between 14 and 18°C.

 

Best served with : It is a marvellous accompaniment for fine charcouterie and red meats. Equally perfect with cheese, our red Macon wine goes extremely well with summer salads.

 

2016 Vintage : On the nose, this wine is intense and profound with aromas of black fruit and a peppery bouquet. In the mouth, it is spicy and slightly acidic and fresh. Because of its youthfulness and its dynamism, this wine should be kepy for several months in order to really appreciate fully its character.
