Winemaker's Notes:
The Bourgogne Blanc “JJ” is a distinctive wine from the southern part of Burgundy near Mâcon. The Mâconnais area offers naturally rich soils with lots of clay. Summer temperatures are generally higher than average in Burgundy, affording the wines rich and ripe fruit character and soft acidity. The full maturity of the skins adds an extra dimension to the grapes, a ripe exotic character, with hints of brioche. To preserve the fresh fruit characters, 2/3 of the parcels are vinified in stainless steel tank and 1/3 in oak barrels. This wine shows fresh apple and pear fruit, lively acidity and an authentic mineral component.
