Domaine Talmard Mâcon-Uchizy

Domaine Talmard Mâcon-Uchizy

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • Uchizy is one of Mâcon’s most sought after terroirs.
  • Fermentation is cold and slow for maximum complexity.

Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay

Elaboration: Traditional, low temperature vinification and aging in steel tank.

Tasting Notes:  You will find a fresh, light and fruity white wine. Displaying a clear dress with a yellow gold color, this wine will then offer a clear nose. You will also notice scents of white flowers, enhanced by a hint of citrus. Throughout the mouth, the body remains supple, slightly mineral and it has a long aftertaste.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND

The Talmard family has been growing wine in Mâcon through successive generations since the seventeenth century. The family estate in its current form boasts a surface area of thirty hectares sitting on clay-limestone soil in the high quality communes of Uchizy and Chardonnay. The young Gérald Talmard now runs all aspects of the property. His farming and winemaking techniques are ancestral and natural. The big difference here in comparison with other top producers in the appellation is that Talmard picks his fruit slightly earlier giving a brighter, fresher backbone to what are already grapes that show deep-rich fruit expression.
