History
Located between Cluny and Mâcon, in the South of Burgundy, the little village of Igé shelters an historical vineyard. The Romans where the first to grow the vines there followed then by the monks in the Middle Age who gave a tremendous impulsion and recognition to the Mâconnais wines.
Vinification and maturing
The grapes are hand harvested, sorted and then pressed in a pneumatic press. After a static cold « débourbage » (settling) lasting 24 hours, our white wines start their alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats under controlled temperatures. Maturing on fine lees.
Vintage : 2020
The public health crisis has certainly marked this year’s harvest, which nonetheless has been able to go ahead!
Despite the year’s record temperatures and lack of rainfall, there has been no lack of quality, although yields are down, with an especially mixed picture with regard to reds. However, these have generally been very well-balanced.
Overall, we have seen nice levels of acidity, promising good aging potential.
