Chardonnay – ” Les As” Mâcon Péronne Aop Blanc – Domaine Aime’ Blouzard

Vinification: Mâcon-Péronne ‘Les As’ through certified organic viticulture and low-intervention, artisanal winemaking, aiming to reveal the pure character of Burgundy’s terroir. Using 100% Chardonnay, the grapes are gently direct-pressed on arrival, then fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The wine is matured in tanks without new oak, resting on fine lees for added texture and rounded depth while preserving fresh, citrusy minerality. Bottling is generally unfined and unfiltered, with only low sulphur added.

Tasting note: It has elegant balance of creamy roundness and crisp, refreshing acidity, it opens with a delicate bouquet of white flowers, lemon zest and green apple, underpinned by subtle limestone minerality. On the palate, floral freshness and orchard fruit, pear and white peach, combine with vibrant citrus. “Les As”, aged on lees in oak barrels, adds restrained, well-integrated creaminess, culminating in a refined, lingering finish.
