The Mâconnais region – named after the town of Mâcon – is some 100 kilometres south of Beaune and the Côte-d'Or. As prices of wine and land increased in the most highly sought after Appellations in Côte-d'Or, the Mâconnais has seen renewed interest and investment in it. Martine Boivin at Domaine des Terres Gentilles, in the village of Azé, has 30 hectares. Her 2020 Bourgogne, fermented with no use of oak, has aromas of fresh apple, lemons with some almond notes.
Maison Alphonse Jacquier Bourgogne Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes AOP
Medium bodied with fresh fruits, lemon and verbena aromas. More tropical and pineapple flavours emerge on the palate with a nice citrus pith finish.
