Fermented with wild yeasts at only a little sulphur added at bottling. 60% of the wine is aged in 500L barrels on fine lees for 10 months.This is a full octane Maconnais with notes of white fleshy fruit with background toasty, spicy and nutty notes. Full, creamy and rich on the palate but with lovely complexity and freshness.

the producer
Pacaud Vignerons
Owned and run by third generation winemakers Sebastien Pacaud and his brother. The small estate is organically certified and mostly has vineyards within the Saint Véran AOC with some small plots in Loché, Fuissé and Bourgogne AOC. The Chardonnay vines come from old low yielding plots which the brothers tend carefully, the low intervention approach continues in the cellar resulting in rich, well balanced and complex wines.
