Description
In a nutshell:
Crisp, vibrant unoaked Burgundy - think ripe pears and a touch of citrus, all with a surprisingly satisfying richness.
The lowdown:
Let's deconstruct the name first. Charnay-lès-Mâcon is a village near Mâcon, and it's from the vineyards around here that the Chardonnay grapes for the wine are grown. In other words, it's a Mâcon white from Charnay-lès-Mâcon - simple enough once you've worked it out! Now the wine - crisp and refreshing, it hits you with the zesty crunch of greengages before hints of candied peel and lemongrass sneak in on the finish. A little lees ageing adds a subtle richness, giving it just the right amount of polish. Well-made and seriously drinkable..
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:
Great with a nice roast chicken or lemon-drenched prawns, its crisp freshness balances richness effortlessly. Then again, who needs food? This one's perfectly happy to shine on its own.
Suitable for Vegans
