Vignes du Maynes Mâcon Rouge 'Cuvée 910'
Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Grapes: Pinot Noir, Gamay, Chardonnay
Vintage: 2023
Vignes du Maynes is run my the inimitable Julien Guillot, who converted the family estate to biodynamics when he took over in 1998. The most natural methods possible are used to vinify the wines. Semi-carbonic maceration is used for the reds and long fermentations are favoured.
This is the cult classic Cuvée 910, named for the year the walled vineyard was originally planted by Burgundian monks. A field blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chardonnay, this is an explosive wine with tremendous purity of fruit, lip-smacking acidity and just incredibly enjoyable drinkability.
