{"product_id":"maison-lenvoye-chardonnay-bourgogne","title":"Maison L'Envoye Chardonnay Bourgogne","description":"\u003cp\u003eVINEYARDS: The Maconnais district’s 21 mile stretch boasts a geology not dissimilar to the famed Cote de Beaune to its north. Macon’s epicenter, Mont de Pouilly, rises gently with alkaline clay covering a stark limestone base, a nirvana for the Chardonnay vines that laze smugly along the river Saone. The vines are traditionally Guyot (cane) pruned and the best vineyards keep yields below three tons per acre. With favorable south east exposures and agreeable weather, the region produces generous, layered whites offering some of the best value in Burgundy. WINEMAKING: While Macon is known for its fresh, simple whites, recent investment by top Burgundian producers has resulted in more conscientious winemaking. The grapes were hand-picked on September 7th then pressed direct, settled overnight, and fermented with indigenous yeast in seasoned barriques. This wine is matured for 12-14 months prior to bottling. TASTING NOTES: From two mature vineyards in La Roche Vineuse, this is a classic Chardonnay with a nose of citrus fruits and lemon zest. The weighty, textured mid-palate boasts flavors of grilled nuts and stone fruit, while a long line of vibrant acidity enlivens the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederick Wildman","offers":[{"title":"750mL \/ 12 \/ 2020","offer_id":45611027529924,"sku":"20618","price":410.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/3538\/5028\/files\/maison-lenvoye-chardonnay-bourgogne-750ml-12-2020-wine-232.webp?v=1765987009","url":"https:\/\/www.grandwinecellar.com\/products\/maison-lenvoye-chardonnay-bourgogne","provider":"Grand Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
