2024 Mainque Chardonnay

Tasting notes:

Fermented in barrel without malolactic fermentation, half of the wine is aged for 11 months in barrels (10% new). Fruit forward with salinity and a tasty finish lent by the calcareous components of the alluvial soil.

Producer description:

Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, grandson of Sassicaia's creator, saw the potential of the Mainque area and founded Chacra in 2003. Helped by fantastic Burgundian winemaker Marc Roulot, Piero produces pure, savoury and elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Due to the nature of the environment, the vines are naturally strong and need minimal intervention. All wines are biodynamic and have a natural acidity. Enjoyable in their youth they can also age gracefully and have been scoring consistently high. Pure, savoury and elegant, they are a serious contender for Burgundy.
