Named GENETIE, in honour of the mysterious name found etched into the stone walls of the centuries-old winery. Located in southern Burgundy, Genetie will continue to craft interesting wines that truthfully represent the diverse terroir of the Mâconnais.
From a 12 hectare plot in the village of Bussières, to the south of the Mâconnais region, with an average vine age of about 40 years. The soil is classic argilo-calcaire that suits Chardonnay so well and that lends elegance and finesse to the final wines. 10% of the wine is barrel aged to give a more textural, slightly creamy element. A classic Chardonnay from Southern Burgundy - fine buttery and floral notes on the nose and a wine of substance and finesse on the palate. Some creamy textural notes up front reveal the discreet presence of oak, whilst on the finish there is some underlying minerality and a hint of citrus zestiness that provides long lasting flavours. An admirable accompaniment to the classic Burgundian dish of poulet à la crème (chicken in creamy sauce), or a shellfish chowder. Great with vegetable risotto and pan fried fish, too.
Tasting Note:
Floral and stone fruit on the nose, followed by some creamy textural notes on the palate reveal the discreet presence of oak, whilst on the finish there is some underlying minerality and a hint of citrus zestiness.
Vegan.
