Productinformation
This Macon Milly-Lamartine is made from plots in the towns of Berzé La Ville and Milly-Lamartine.
In Berzé, the plot is 1.14ha, is 375-415m above sea level with a slope of 25-30% with western orientation. In Milly, the plot is 1.69ha, on medium to steep slopes, averaging 350m above sea level and with northern and eastern orientation. The vines are on average 17 years old. In both plots, the soil is clay-limestone.
The grapes are harvested by machine at different times because the grapes from Berzé and Milly ripen differently. They are therefore harvested and vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of +/-18°C. Wild native yeasts are used for this and the MLF is spontaneous and complete. The wine matures for 9 months in tank on the lees (lie) without racking or batonnage. The wine is assembled and bottled in the summer after harvest.
