Bourcier-Martinot, Mâcon 2021

Surrounded on various sides by the geologic giants of Mount Pouilly and the limestone escarpments known as Solutré and Vergisson, the vineyards benefit from stony soils, southern exposure, and a mild climate, which together make for ideal growing conditions. 

The Macon AOC and Saint-Véran wines are marked by freshness and charm, and they are among the greatest values in the region! 

The majority of their Macon AOC vines are farmed in the villages of Davayé, Charnay-lès-Macon, and Pierreclos, all of which grow below the giant rock ridges of Solutré and Vergisson. Interestingly, the Saint-Véran appellation shares characteristics with the Pouilly-Fuissé terroir where Callovian clay-limestone soils are present.

The Bourcier-Martinot Macon is made from a selection of some of the northern-most vineyards in the appellation. With hints of citrus and white stone fruit on the palate, this beautifully balanced wine resembles the more reputable regional wines of the Côte d’Or. It is both an excellent example of a Mâcon, as well as a tremendous value! The big brother Saint-Véran has rich floral aromas with hints of pear and apple. The palate is seamless with creamy textures and lovely acidity. This bottle is begging for a place on the table next to fish, poultry or aged goat cheese.
