Domaine Sophie Cinier Macon-Verze, Burgundy, France 2022

Description

From the limestone-rich slopes of the Mâconnais, Sophie Cinier crafts this expressive Chardonnay that captures the purity and freshness of southern Burgundy. The 2022 vintage shines with a pale gold color and aromas of white peach, ripe pear, lemon blossom, and a touch of almond. Subtle notes of acacia honey and wet stone hint at the wine’s finesse and terroir-driven character.

On the palate, it’s lively yet rounded, offering juicy orchard fruit flavors balanced by a crisp line of acidity. The gentle lees aging adds a silky texture and a whisper of brioche, while the finish is clean, mineral, and refreshingly persistent. This is a classic example of Mâcon-Verzé approachable, food-friendly, and beautifully balanced.
