Les Marnes Chardonnay IGP, Madame des Fontaynes 2019

Lightly crisp, fruity and with a pure line of citrus acidity, this is an attractive wine that's zingy and buzzy. It is ready to drink. It is part of a new venture from the owners of Château de Tracy in Pouilly-Fumé.

The village of Menetou-Salon is located south-west of Sancerre and is surrounded by approximately 370 hectares of vineyards. Traditionally there was no viticulture here, but people mainly cultivated apples. The rich who settled in Menetou after the Middle Ages planted their own vineyards here and over time the world discovered the quality of this neighbor of Sancerre. The Menetou-Salon appellation dates from 1959. White, red and rosé wines are produced here. A remarkable expression of continental Sauvignon combining freshness and a rich texture. In the glass, the wine develops a complex and delicate bouquet of citrus, then exotic fruit such as passion fruit, mango and lychee. Exceptional length that perfectly highlights the minerality of this delicious Sauvignon

Due the short maceration, this Pinot Noir is all about finesse, creating a balance between its fresh texture and the complex flavours of soft fruit such as strawberries and raspberries. The finish is delicate and very slightly salty.
