Description
In a nutshell:
From Mâconnais vineyards, this Chardonnay is fresh and minerally with just the faintest whisper of oak giving an understated elegance.
The lowdown:
A classic Mâconnais Burgundy, this has all the zippy minerality and citrus zest you'd expect, but with a little extra - 10% of it gets a stint in oak barrels. That gives it a mere hint of creaminess - enough to make it feel polished, but without losing its fresh, vibrant edge. Think soft buttery and floral aromas, a touch of creamy texture up front, and a bright, citrusy finish with a mineral kick. And it lingers long enough to remind you it's the real deal - elegant, and quietly confident.
The Producer:
Genetie is an intriguing venture in Burgundy's Mâconnais, led by Samantha Bailey, a winemaker who knows the ins and outs of this area's vineyards extremely well. Her aim is to create wines that capture the essence of southern Burgundy - a region often in the shadow of its more famous northern counterparts. These wines have a quiet elegance; theyre well-crafted and unpretentious, with a focus on flavour rather than fuss.
When to drink:
Think roast chicken with herbs or creamy poulet à la moutarde - the subtle creaminess and zesty freshness balance rich sauces and bring out the best in simple classics.
Suitable for Vegans
