Vignerons des Terres Secrètes - Mâcon-Verzé Croix-Jarrier 2014
Burgundy
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
On the outskirts of the village of Verzé, Chardonnay draws its expression from predominantly limestone soils. Intense mineral notes of gunflint and chalk underline the character of the Croix-Jarrier terroir, which is colder and more tautly expressed than other Mâconnais hillsides. A very good Mâcon-Verzé!
