The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Dominique and Romain Cornin magnify the terroirs of Chaintré and Pouilly-Fuissé with an immense talent. Entirely biodynamic, their small vineyard is an outstanding example of the power of the Chardonnays from the Mâconnais region, with pure and radiant aromas of fruit, a reflection of the excellence of the limestone of Southern Burgundy.
Wine The 2021 white Mâcon-Chaintré is a straightforward wine with nutty and dried fruit flavors, which delight with its balance, its limestone resonance, and its thirst-quenching character. In this cold vintage, the Chardonnay remains restrained, with hints of flavors of orchard fruits and a slight bitterness to the finish. To be enjoyed now, ideally as an aperitif with small sardines or fresh cheeses.
Vinification Hand harvested, fermented and aged in tanks for about 12 months on fine lees.
