Les Vignerons des Terres Secrètes present here one of their emblematic cuvées that perfectly embodies the excellence of their terroirs.
Drawing its expression from the predominantly limestone soils that border the village of Verzé, the Chardonnay grape variety makes up 100% of this cuvée. The winemaking methods used are designed to highlight the identity of the “Mâcon-Verzé Croix-Jarrier” terroir. Harvested at full maturity, the grapes undergo slow pressing and precise settling before fermentation and ageing on fine lees.
The 2014 Mâcon-Verzé Croix-Verzé has a luminous, silvery gold color. The nose is crystal-clear. Mineral notes (gunflint, chalk) underline the personality of a terroir that is colder and more tautly expressed than other Mâconnais hillsides. This mineral framework gradually fades, revealing fine notes of white fruit and violets. On the palate, pear notes are very present, adding density and an almost tactile sensation. Long, vibrant and inexhaustible, this wine also has a slightly saline finish.
The typicity of this wine is best expressed with smoked salmon cake, scallop salad, pike quenelles or Burgundy parsley snails. With an aging potential of 3 to 5 years, this wine is best served between 11 and 13°C.
It is on sale at the cellar for €7.60 incl. VAT.
