This vineyard is located in the Mâconnais region, at the heart of the Ma?con-Lugny appellation (southern Burgundy). The "Les Charmes" vines are planted on a renowned 100-hectare (247-acre) limestone plateau.
Redolent of peach, apricot, redcurrant and white blossom aromas with a touch of lemon. Full-bodied on the palate with good depth and lovely length.
Serve with shellfish and crustaceans as well as white meats in cream or full-flavoured cheeses.
Includes white wines that are either made from a number of varieties and where no one is predominant, or the blend is propitiatory. For other blends see Champagne and Port Blends.
Two hundred miles south east of Paris lies the famous and historic wine region, known in French as Bourgogne. The Cote d'Or, the heartland of the region, consists of two distinct sub-regions split on either side of the town of Beaune.The Côte de Nuits to the north, includes the famous villages of Vosne-Romanee, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits-Saint-Georges and are known primarily for making red wine from Pinot Noir.Although The Côte de Beaune to the south still makes some magnificent reds (see Volnay and Pommard), white wine made from Chardonnay is the main focus. The most famous villages are Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. Burgundy has three other important regions. The village of Chablis (exclusively Chardonnay) encompassing the region's most northerly vineyards. The Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais to south are quantitatively speaking more important. Agriculture is more diverse with a significant portion of the land devoted to livestock and arable farming.
