Domaine Marc Jambon et Fils Cuvée Classique Mâcon-Pierreclos 2018
Mâconnais, Burgundy, FranceThis Régionale Mâcon wine has been elevated to include the Pierreclos designation, showing their southern Mâconnais village has elevated status within the appellation. The Jambon family has been in Pierreclos since 1752. Marc Jambon and his son Pierre-Antoine created this estate in 1996, growing it to to the sustainably managed 12 hectare estate it is today. This chardonnay grows on clay limestone, was partially native fermented and aged in stainless, buried underground for temperature control. The wine remains there on lees until bottling in April 2019. Lees-led, this carries green apple, flax, cracked stone along a slender palate, finishing with a rinse of salinity and a lingering limestone buzz. Nice definition to this 2018, drinking smartly now and with a couple years ahead.Tasted: 30 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Château de Messey Mâcon Cruzille Clos des Avoueries Calcaire 2018Eric and Catherine Giroud Mâcon-Uchizy Vieilles Vignes 2018
