The nose is of ripe green apples with just a hint of citrus. Not muddled by oak that would overpower the delicate fruit, it shows crisp acidity and good mineral punch in the middle while finishing plump and long. A great value Chardonnay!

A perennial favourite from this fine producer, this wine is fermented and aged 100% in stainless steel tanks to preserve all the zesty fruit and mineral qualities that fine Mâcon should exhibit. The Chardonnay fruit comes from the Manciats' middle-aged vineyards in and around the village of Charnay. 100% hand-harvested grapes (a rarity in the region) and attention to detail at every level make this one of the purest, most satisfying white Burgundies in its class.

Domaine Manciat-Poncet is a result of the merger of two family-owned estates: the Manciats in Charnay-lès-Mâcon and the Poncet family in Vergisson, in the appellation of Pouilly-Fuissé. The vines are all aged between 40 and 60 years and the wines display lovely floral notes.
