Mâcon-Villages Vérizet Vieilles Vignes 2021

Yellow crystalline hue with subtle golden glints. An intense nose bursting with ripened fruits layered over hints of white-fleshed fruit (wild peach, pear). Charming and well-rounded on the palate, balanced out with nuances of citrus fruits.

This wonderful aperitif wine pairs beautifully with local delicacies (parsley-seasoned ham, poached eggs in a white wine sauce, Burgundy snails, goat’s cheeses), as well as white fish, seafood and shellfish, cream-based poultry dishes, sautéed vegetables and, soft mould cheeses.

Best served at 10 - 13°C.

The surface area of vines linked to the Cave is 240 hectares and its wine producers consist of 150 cooperative members including 40 winegrowers. These old vines have an average age of 40 to 50 years and grow on limestone clay-loam soil. Primarily south-east-facing, they are often overlooking the Val de Saône. Their deep roots withstand dry and arid conditions. Minimal vigor gives this wine a highly refined structure.
