2019 Mâcon-Villages Terroir du Mâconnais Bret Brothers

Ripe apricots, baked apples, lemons, honeysuckle and vanilla cream on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied, round and creamy with a juicy core of ripe stone fruit. Good acidity, too.

This bottling is blended from an assortment of classic Mâconnais terroirs, including Viré-Clessé, Saint-Véran En Combe, Pouilly-Fuissé En Carementrant and others.The fruit is gently pressed and fermented mostly in tank, with about 10% fermented in used casks. Very little sulphur is used at the press and no more is added at bottling. The result has a rich, lovely ripe apple fruit, with just a hint of spice. On the palate, the texture is creamy and rich, with plenty of substance and length.
