Lucien Muzard & Fils Santenay Maladière Blanc Premier Cru 2024

A refined and harmonious premier cru that elegantly balances freshness and complexity with impressive depth and finesse.  

A truly excellent Chardonnay that best expresses the estate's limestone terroir. 

Beautiful golden color. The aroma is intense and mineral with notes of tropical fruits. The taste is wonderfully balanced.

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

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

It should be served without being overly chilled to highlight its fresh and complex character. 

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

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

Aged in 350-liter barrels.
