Marie-Pierre Manciat
"Les Petites Bruyères" Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay
Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France
It is Friday and it has been hot here in the Chicago area. I have chosen the 2012 Marie-Pierre Manciat Pouilly-Fuisse Les Petites Bruyeres.
The nose has apple, fresh cut pear, lemon peel, Apple blossom, almond, honeysuckle and limestone.
The first sip brings on tropical fruit of pineapple, passionfruit, lemon meringue, mango, and wet flint rocks minerality.
There is a fresh vibrant medium acidity with a crisp long finish.
A very pleasant summer wine that make the heat bearable.
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷

"Marie-Pierre's family has been making wine in the Macon since 1871 and her sustainable vineyards yield some really beautiful, terroir-driven white Burgundies of exceptional value. Her elegant Saint-Véran Chardonnay is super clean and precise, with great minerality and acidity and the tiniest oak influence that just slightly soften out the edges. I love a wine that tastes more expensive than the price tag it wears, and this Chard totally slays! Pair with these quesadillas I recipe-tested last night, or simple charcuterie and fromage. $18"

Jul 3rd, 2015Great French Chardonnay without any oak. Not too much citrus as can be the case with Pouily-Fuisse. Great for a cocktail or with a meal.
