Domaine Des Gandines – Mâcon-Burgy

Presentation of Domaine Des Gandines – Mâcon-Burgy

This Mâcon-Burgy from Domaine Des Gandines comes from old Gamay Noir vines cultivated in Organic and Biodynamic Agriculture, in Demeter and Ecocert conversion. The 90-year-old vines are located on a limestone plateau at an altitude of 400 m with a north-east exposure. The grapes were harvested by hand, the wine is vinified in the Burgundian style using destemmed grapes (10-day vatting) without added sulphites. The wine was aged for 18 months on lees in stainless steel vats. On the palate, the wine is aromatic and intense with a juicy texture and soft and subtle tannins. Minerality is also present, providing good intensity and long persistence. The tannins are fine and silky, offering a refreshing suppleness to the whole. We can perceive pastry notes, red fruits and spices which complete the taste experience.
