When we first visited the M\u00e2connais so many decades ago, we knew this was the mother lode. With the valley of Vergisson as its center, this region was teeming with forward-thinking winemakers, exceptional vineyards and expressive wines being offered for a mere fraction of the cost of C\u00f4te d’Or bottles.<\/p>\n

From the commune of La Roche Vineuse, one of the M\u00e2connais’ more qualitatively excellent sites, winemaker Thomas Perraud of Domaine Perraud de la Grande Burette selects only older-vine fruit for our special and exclusive white Burgundy wine. This overachieving M\u00e2con-Villages hits all the white Burgundy sweet spots\u2014succulent fruit, a tangy minerality from the vineyard\u2019s chalky soils, balanced alcohol and a price point that for the quality, seems criminal.<\/p>\n

This is value Chardonnay with serious soul, a high-quality blanc<\/i> from one of France\u2019s finest white-wine regions that will seduce and astound those who claim allegiance to C\u00f4te de Beaune whites.<\/p>\n

\n

“For wine lovers who enjoy Chardonnay for its minerality and its ability to convey nuances of soil and site\u2014rather than simply for its capacity to carry new oak past the blood-brain barrier\u2014there is no better source of wine today than the M\u00e2connais, especially if price is an issue.”<\/em>\u2014Stephen Tanzer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

FARMING & WINEMAKING<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Perraud family selects older-vine fruit from a series of hillside vineyards in the commune of La Roche Vineuse, from a lieu-dit called ‘La Grande Burette,’ one of the region\u2019s top appellations and terroirs. Soils here are very chalky, which gives the wine its lacy textural quality and tangy, sea-salt finish.<\/p>\n

Grapes are pressed whole-cluster and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in both tank and older French oak barrels (less than 10%) on fine lees. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.<\/p>\n

The wine\u2019s herbal and wildflower aromas remind of Puligny-Montrachet, while flavors of honeyed pear butter mix with candied citrus and Asian pears. One of the better values in white Burgundy you can find.<\/p>\n
