✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the limestone-rich slopes of La Roche-Vineuse, a village named for its famous wine-nurturing stone cliffs, this cuv e is crafted from old Chardonnay vines that dig deep into the classic clay-limestone soils of the M connais. The 2022 vintage was characterized by a warm, sun-drenched growing season across Burgundy, which yielded beautifully ripe fruit with excellent concentration while maintaining a bright, balancing acidity. Aged on its fine lees, this wine beautifully marries the rich, golden orchard fruit and white flower aromas of a warm vintage with the intense, flinty minerality and saline finish native to these ancient soils.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1993 by Alain Normand in the picturesque village of La Roche-Vineuse, Domaine Sylvaine & Alain Normand represents one of the benchmark artisanal estates of the southern Mâconnais in Burgundy. The domaine grew significantly when Alain was joined in 2010 by his wife Sylvaine, combining prized vineyard holdings that span exceptional limestone and clay terroirs across Mâcon, Saint-Véran, and Pouilly-Fuissé. Guided by a philosophy of meticulous, sustainable viticulture and gentle, temperature-controlled vinification, the Normands focus on expressing the natural tension and mineral purity of the region. Their portfolio, epitomized by signature bottlings like the Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse Vieilles Vignes, is renowned for producing expressive, vibrant white Burgundies defined by aromatic precision and elegant texture.
