Jean Loron Rift 71 Sans Soufre 2018

Mâcon-Villages, Mâconnais, Burgundy, FranceThe roots of this family owned winery go back to 1711, and the 8th generation of family members currently oversee the negotiant operations. Jean Loron's chief winemaker, Jean-Pierre Rodet, first made wine under the guidance of Jules Chauvet, the famous scientist and oenologist widely recognised as a father of the natural wine movements. From the Mâconnais, this chardonnay was fermented and briefly rested in stainless, with no sulphur throughout. Tight and bright with lemon, pear, apple, this is a clean and fresh version of the grape in the Mâcon, bedded with a slight cushion of lees, and finishing bright and zippy. Naked chardy, as it were, and smartly so.Tasted: 02 December 2020Tasted by: Prices:
