2019 MÂCON CHAINTRÉ LES SERREUXDIÈRES DOMINIQUE CORNIN - 12x75cl

Tasting Notes

• 

  Goedhuis, April 2022

  The south-easterly exposure of the vineyards of Chaintré guarantees perfect ripeness for these Chardonnay grapes, beautifully highlighted in this singe vineyard plot of Serreuxdiéres. Attractive aromas of bright clementine and apricot balance a subtle richness of fruit with a lift of freshness and a long, creamy textured finish.

  The 2020 Mâcon-Chaintré Les Serreuxdières, which comes from a vineyard close to the village of Chânes, on limestone soils. It has plenty of energy on the nose, quite tensile, just a very subtle petrolly scent lending complexity. The palate is well balanced with that menthol leitmotif that runs through many of the wines this vintage. It just needs a little more grip on the finish, but still promising. Drink 2023 - 2029

Producer

Domaine Dominique Cornin

There is so much that makes Domaine Cornin, from the village of Chaintré in Macon, special. Father and son, Dominique and Romain, are men of the soil. Their attitude is summed up by Romain’s ambition for the estate, “accomplishing my dream to become a vigneron fills me with a sense of freedom: The freedom to spend my days, as I see fit, in the thick of my vines, true to my father’s work philosophy and his love of the soil. At his side, I aspire to create a wine that reflects who I am and that I enjoy sharing.” They have been organic practitioners since 2000, something of a rarity in the Maconnais. Their ideology is to show to all the true expression of both the fruit and the soil. These wines are a joy, sourced from some of the oldest vineyards in the region. There is complete respect to individual terroirs and they have an excitement to them, fresh and bright but also juicy and warming.
