Bright and tasty, this Burgundian white wine is both delicious and affordable. The Mâcon region, noted for its ancient clay and limestone soils, covers a sizable area in southern Burgundy. Fermented in stainless-steel vats for 6 to 8 months and bottled the following spring, the resulting wine is aromatic and fresh tasting. Like most white wines, it is at its most appealing if served nice and cold but not icy. Enjoy it as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to a wide range of food, including a variety of pasta dishes, poultry (notably turkey!), cold cuts and salads.
