Tasting
This “Au Cœur des Roches” Mâcon-Solutré-Pouilly is a bright, straightforward expression of Chardonnay. Its pale gold color shines in the glass, while the nose opens with acacia flowers, fresh pear, and lemon zest. A chalky edge a hallmark of the Solutré terroir adds tension. On the palate, it’s vibrant and linear, driven by crisp acidity and a focused structure. The finish is clean, citrusy, and delicately saline. A pure, unadorned Chardonnay that speaks with clarity and energy.
Food pairings
Thanks to its freshness and precision, this Mâcon-Solutré-Pouilly pairs perfectly with light, fresh cuisine: citrus shrimp salad, sea bream tartare, or grilled trout with lemon. It also complements roast poultry, light veal blanquette, or leek quiche. For cheese, opt for fresh goat cheese or mild tomme. Serve between 10–12°C to preserve its brightness and crisp detail.
