Description
In a nutshell:
Crisp, vibrant unoaked Burgundy Chardonnay - think ripe pears and a touch of citrus, all with a surprisingly satisfying richness.
The lowdown:
This unoaked Chardonnay from Mâcon-Charnay-Les-Macon opens with a delightful aroma of freshly cut hay. On the palate, it's crisp and refreshing, offering flavours of crunchy greengages, with hints of candied peel and lemongrass emerging on the finish. Time spent on its lees adds a touch of richness that elevates this beyond a simple quaffer. Overall, it's a very well-made and enjoyable white wine - expressive, balanced, and with a subtle complexity that belies its unassuming origins.
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:
A reliable Chardonnay like this works wonders with uncomplicated seafood or a hearty roast chicken dinner, complete with all the trimmings. Its adaptability means you can happily sip it alone as an aperitif or enjoy it throughout your meal.
Suitable for Vegans
