L'Etoile opens with a nose of finesse and elegance, recalling the minerality of the terroir. This wine is distinguished by its amplitude on the palate, a structure with complex aromas. With a round finish, the sensation is pleasant and harmonious.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Vintage 2015) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (2021 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Domaine du Mont Épin is the second estate of brothers Richard and Stéphane Martin, of Croix Sénaillet de Davayé, acquired in 2015 and whose vines are located around Mont Épin. It comprises 15 hectares divided into four terroirs and two appellations, Mâcon-Péronne (seven hectares) and Viré-Clessé. The estate is converting to organic farming to maintain the same philosophy as Davayé, and the wines come in two cuvées for Péronne and two for Viré-Clessé, with a rather charming style thanks to ripe harvests. Perfect for gastronomy.
