Notes : Strong notes of blackcurrant and blackberry. In the mouth the attack powerfully becomes round, evolving with great persistence.

Vinification & Ageing: The vineyards are located between the Saône River and the Mâconnais hills with exposure from west to east. The vines are on average 48 years old on clay-limestone soils with granite faults. The grapes are destemmed and placed in the vats where they are heated for up to 12-18 hours for the extraction of color. Then the vats are cooled for alcoholic fermentation. A part of the wine (10%) is aged in barrels for 8 months,
then it is assembled with the rest in the vat for another 4 months of aging.

Pairings : A prophet in its own country, Mâcon rouge pairs perfectly with local andouillette sausage and regional goat cheese, but it also plays host to familiar French dishes like sautéed pork and game in sauce. Chefs also recommend it with a medallion of foie gras garnished with cherries.
