Mâcon-Chardonnay, Tourbillion 2020, Domaine Vuillemez

🇬🇧 🕰️ Swiss Precision in Burgundy: Mâcon-Chardonnay ‘Tourbillon’ 2020 – Domaine Vuillemez

Looking for a white Burgundy that dares to be different? Tourbillon 2020 by Domaine Vuillemez is a rare expression of Burgundian terroir shaped by Swiss craftsmanship. Made by a family of watchmakers in the historic village of Chardonnay, this unoaked Chardonnay is elegant, mineral-driven, and full of precision – a wine that unites tension, texture, and purity. 🍋🍐🪨

✨ Precise, vibrant and aromatically layered
The nose opens with bright aromas of sun-dried straw, beeswax, yellow plum, lime zest, and green apple. As it warms slightly, delicate hints of wet stone, flint, sea breeze, and white blossom emerge – building a clean, almost Alpine aromatic profile that keeps unfolding in the glass.

On the palate, the wine strikes with clarity: a tight and saline backbone supports the fleshy mid-palate. The texture is creamy yet lifted, thanks to its aging in concrete egg-shaped vats. Juicy notes of stone fruit (mirabelle, apricot), citrus oils, and subtle herbal tones give complexity. A delicate bitterness reminiscent of almond skin adds gastronomic grip. The finish is long, chalky, and refreshingly dry – leaving a salty echo that invites another sip.
