🍐 Looking for a juicy white Burgundy? Taste the pure charm of Mâcon La Roche Vineuse Blanc 2022!

Light, lively, and irresistibly fresh! This unoaked Chardonnay from the sun-drenched Mâconnais (southern Burgundy) is the perfect example of how pure Chardonnay can taste. The 2022 vintage from Domaine Normand offers an expressive, fresh-soft profile full of ripe yellow fruit and subtle salty minerality – entirely aged in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit. 🍏🍐🍋

✨ Refreshing, Burgundian & dangerously drinkable

As soon as your nose meets the glass, you'll smell intense aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and a hint of exotic fruit. On the palate, this Chardonnay is fresh and smooth, with a soft salty edge that adds just the right amount of intrigue. No oak aging, but full of character!

🧊 Tip: Serve well chilled as an aperitif – or pair with briny bites like oysters or herring!

🏡 About Domaine Normand

Led by Alain and Sylvaine Normand, and now joined by their son Thomas, Domaine Normand is located on the limestone slopes of La Roche-Vineuse, a historic hamlet near Cluny in the heart of southern Burgundy. Alain, a red-haired Norman originally from the Loire Valley, met Sylvaine, a native Burgundian, at wine school in Beaune. In 2023, their son Thomas joined the estate after completing his oenology studies at the same school.

The estate now covers 35 hectares of vineyards, nestled near the iconic limestone cliffs of Solutré and Vergisson – landmarks of the Mâcon wine region.
