LOUISE BENOIT MACON-VILLAGES CHARDONAYY 2022

Louise Benoit's Macon Villages emerges from the limestone and clay soils of Burgundy's southern terrain, where the warm microclimate allows Chardonnay to develop generous character while retaining mineral precision. This harmonious 2022 expression artfully blends fruit from mature vines (20-45 years old) in the distinguished villages of Viré, Péronne, and Verzé, creating a wine of remarkable balance and typicity. The result is a richly textured Chardonnay offering impressive intensity, with a supple, round mouthfeel that glides across the palate, revealing layers of orchard fruits complemented by the region's distinctive chalky minerality. Its long, satisfying finish makes this an exceptionally versatile white, perfect as an aperitif or alongside fresh seafood dishes, brilliantly showcasing the unique terroir of southern Burgundy's rolling hillsides.
