The nose is layered with a bouquet of citrus, pear and nutmeg. The finely toned palate presents a silky texture with a vibrant freshness, showing off lemon zest, and a hint of vanilla bean and baking spice, balanced by a slatey minerality driving the finish. ~winery notes

While Mcon is known for its fresh, simple whites, recent investment by top Burgundian producers has resulted in more conscientious winemaking. The grapes were hand-picked and immediately pressed. The juice was settled overnight then transfered to seasoned barriques for fermentation with indigenous yeasts. This wine was matured for 12 months prior to bottling in a combination of neutral French oak and stainless steel.

Mconnais Wedged between the Cte Chalonnaise and Beaujolais, the Mconnais districts 21 mile stretch boasts a geology not dissimilar to the famed Cte de Beaune to its north. Mcons epicenter, Mont de Pouilly, rises gently with alkaline clay covering a stark limestone base, a nirvana for the Chardonnay vines in intermittent plots that laze smugly along the river Sane. The vines are traditionally Guyot (cane) pruned and the best vineyards keep yields below three tons per acre. With favorable south east exposures and agreeable weather, the potential for generous, layered whites offering some of the best value in Burgundy, and possibly the world, is unlimited.
