Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards around the village of Uchizy in the Mâconnais region of southern Burgundy, the vines grow on clay-limestone soils that promote freshness, minerality, and fruit purity. The area benefits from a temperate continental climate with sunny days and cool nights, which allow for slow, even ripening. Domaine Sallet practices sustainable farming and focuses on site expression and minimal intervention to maintain clarity and precision in the glass.

Appearance:
Pale straw with greenish hues. Brilliant and youthful in appearance, with a slight shimmer that suggests freshness and vibrancy.

Nose:
Fragrant and floral, the nose offers aromas of white blossoms, green apple, Asian pear, and citrus zest. Subtle hints of lime peel and crushed stone add lift and complexity without any oak interference.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a crisp, clean texture. The palate delivers bright notes of lemon, green apple, and ripe pear, underscored by a chalky mineral spine. Balanced acidity gives the wine a mouthwatering quality and precision through the mid-palate.

Finish:
Dry and zesty, with lingering citrus, a touch of salinity, and fresh minerality. The finish is brisk, focused, and encourages another sip.

Recommended Food Pairings:
Meat Dish: Grilled lemon-herb chicken, seared white fish, or pork medallions with apple and thyme
Vegetarian Option: Asparagus risotto, zucchini gratin, or quinoa salad with citrus vinaigrette
Cheese / Charcuterie Pairing: Fresh goat cheese, young Comté, Brie, or marinated olives with crusty bread
