Macon Chaintre Chardonnay Wine from Burgundy by Daniel Pollier

Description

Mâcon-Chaintré Domaine Daniel Pollier: Mâconnais Chardonnay at its freshest

Based in Fuissé for several generations, Domaine Daniel Pollier cultivates vines across various appellations in the Mâconnais. With this Mâcon-Chaintré, the Pollier family offers a Burgundy white wine made exclusively from Chardonnay, the region’s iconic grape variety. The Mâcon-Chaintré appellation is part of the vineyards of southern Burgundy, where the hillsides and clay-limestone soils contribute to the character of the white wines.

On the palate, this Chardonnay has a brilliant golden-yellow colour. Its delicate nose opens with notes of white flowers, white-fleshed fruit and hazelnut. On the palate, it is dry and lively, with a pleasant freshness and a mineral character that lends balance. Its floral and fruity style makes it an approachable wine, whilst retaining the finesse expected of a white wine from the Mâconnais.

The Mâcon-Chaintré from Domaine Daniel Pollier is a versatile choice at the table. It pairs well with aperitifs, grilled fish or fish in sauce, poultry and goat’s cheese. Its freshness also makes it a good match for light dishes and vegetable-based starters. Serve it at around 10 °C to preserve its aromatic brilliance and liveliness.

This dry white Burgundy will appeal to Chardonnay enthusiasts seeking a fresh, fruity and mineral profile, whilst still retaining the conviviality of a wine meant to be shared.
