malolactic fermentation is always carried out. Aged in steel tank on fine lees during 20 months; Light filtration just before the bottling. 

Tasting Note

Our Mâcon-Fuissé Vers Chanes opens on scents of golden fruit, citrus, peaches and minerality. It’s definitly a crispy and juicy wine, fleshy with a nice density. The tension og the wine brings minerality and we love its refreshing and thirst-making finish!
