Introduction:
The 2024 Adrien Perrachon Mâcon-Villages is a fresh, expressive white Burgundy that showcases the finesse of chardonnay from the Mâconnais region. Known for producing elegant, fruit-forward wines with a mineral backbone, this bottling delivers vibrant acidity, subtle complexity, and a clean, food-friendly profile ideal for everyday enjoyment or refined pairings.
Terrior:
Located in the southernmost part of Burgundy, the Mâcon-Villages appellation benefits from a warmer climate than its northern counterparts, while retaining enough elevation and limestone-rich soils to preserve freshness and minerality. Adrien Perrachon's vineyards have optimal sun exposure and natural drainage, enhancing varietal purity and regional expression. Sustainable vineyard practices support the health of the vines and the integrity of the land.
Appearance:
The wine presents a pale straw-yellow hue with light green reflections, indicating youth and vibrancy. Its clarity and brightness suggest minimal intervention and a focus on preserving the grape’s natural character.
Tasting notes:
The 2022 Adrien Perrachon Mâcon-Villages is crafted from 100% chardonnay sourced from several vineyard sites in the Mâconnais with vines averaging 50 years in age. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, the wine underwent full malolactic fermentation. It displays aromas of green apples, lemon zest, and ripe pears, followed by delicate notes of acacia and honeysuckle and a subtle mineral edge. The medium-bodied palate shows flavors of lemon and grapefruit zest, white peaches, orchard fruits, and a touch of almond. A linear mineral streak and refreshing acidity bring it to a long, juicy finish.
