Today, winemakers Aurélien and Johan Palthey maintain this rigorous commitment, utilizing manual harvests and century-old vines to preserve the structural soul of their Chardonnay. By championing slow, indigenous fermentations and extended aging on the lees in neutral vessels, the brothers build a remarkable mid-palate density and phenolic weight. It is a winemaking philosophy that deliberately avoids the mask of new oak, allowing the pure, sun-drenched character of Mâconnais fruit to shine through with total clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThis wine is a true child of the appellation’s classic clay-limestone soils, which provide the essential mineral \"snap\" and saline tension needed to balance its naturally golden, solar profile. In the 2023 vintage, the estate navigated a warm growing season with expert precision, achieving a generous, mouth-filling ripeness while keeping a firm acidic framework entirely intact. The result is a Chardonnay of wonderful persistence and fine-grained extract, offering both immediate, mouthwatering precision and the structural bones for beautiful medium-term aging. It is a sophisticated, soulful bottle that remains the technical benchmark for the region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fleet Street Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48019491815672,"sku":"19925","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3279.jpg?v=1772133077"}],"url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/collections\/sub-region-vire-clesse.oembed","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
