Tasting Notes

This is the second vintage of this wine in the Chateau de Messey stable, and wow do we love the 2021.  From a 0.9 parcel in Macon-Chardonnay with shallow limestone soils.  It has a wonderful combo of depth and vibrancy – peaches and biscuits and very bright finish, matched with a lovely crème anglaise weight and creaminess. 

More Info

Chateau de Messey is a new star from a special terroir in southern burgundy called 'Cruzille'. Boasting 1,000 years of history (they are mentioned in manuscripts dating back to the 9th century CE), Château de Messey is located just outside Tournus on a hilltop 300-400 metres above sea level and surrounded by woods. Owner Marc Dumont purchased the chateau complete with ancient vaulted cellars and 89ha of vines in the early '90s and the quality has sky-rocketed in the last few years. The estate is run by Fredereic Servais, named Winemaker of the Year in 2017 by Appelation Bourgogne for his work at Clos des Poncetys. The character is deeper and more complex than most Macon, and in fact, this is an hour to the North of Macon.
