Le Martelet AOC Macon-Vergisson

|
AOC Macon-Vergisson represents an exceptional chardonnay wine. There are many individual villages that may append their name to the Mâcon appellation. Most often the wines are sold as Mâcon-Villages. This village, though, deserves note. Vergisson is located in the shadow of the massive cliffs of the Roche de Vergisson, just north of Pouilly and Fuissé - Mâcon's most celebrated sites. When you combine this favorable aspect with the quality of grapes drawn from Corine and Maurice Desrayaud's Chardonnay vines, the result can be (and is) truly astonishing! This is a gloriously complex wine from the area in Pouilly-Fuisse known for producing the best wines of this type: Vergisson. Cepage: Chardonnay. About the Producer: Maurice and Corine Desrayaud produce this light, dry wine in a manner that makes it one of the best wines from its region. An important element of the depth of these wines is the vineyard location near the village of Vergisson. These wines are the perfect complement for poultry or seafood. Tasting Notes: This delectable Mâcon-Vergisson shows intriguing aromas with ripe pear, apple, lemon, and grapefruit scents backed by an ethereal floral component and a luscious, creamy note. The flavors are wonderfully concentrated with ripe apple and pear fruit elements enhanced by hints of smoky spice, all followed by a lemony-fresh finish that lingers pleasantly. This wine is far superior to most any Mâcon-Villages bottling you're likely to find. It has a degree of richness and complexity more often associated with communal wines of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. Everything the Burgundy wines are known for - elegantly traditional. Recommended Food Pairings: Amazingly food friendly, this wine complements Poultry, Pork, Cheeses, and Salads; a fine companion for your favorite fresh fish or shellfish preparation.
