Lucien Muzard & Fils Santenay Maladière Blanc Premier Cru 2023

An exquisite and harmonious white wine, elegantly balancing freshness and complexity with impressive depth and finesse. A truly beautiful Chardonnay that expresses the limestone terroir of the estate in the best way. 

Beautiful golden color.

The aroma is intense and mineral with notes of tropical fruits.

The taste is wonderfully balanced.

Full-bodied and precise with vibrant acidity and a creamy texture. The mineral finish gives the wine a lasting elegance and finesse.  

The vines were planted in 2013, covering 0.57 hectares. The vineyard is southeast-facing on a steep and rocky slope with a limestone-rich subsoil covered with a thin layer of clay.

The grapes are hand-harvested and gently vinified with light clarification of the must before it is placed in barrels. Fermentation is achieved with natural yeast. The malolactic fermentation is typically completed during the winter months in the underground cellars. 

Aged on 350-liter barrels.

This wine is an ideal choice for roasted fish, shellfish, or creamy cheeses like brie or camembert.

It should be served without excessive chilling to highlight its fresh and complex character.
