Domaine Normand Bourgogne Blanc 2022

A delicious Chardonnay from an exemplary artisan domaine. Opens with pear and tropical fruit underpinned by clear minerality, with a linear finish featuring salinity and moderate acidity. 

Native yeast and gentle, slow fermentation with a long upbringing of 12 months minimum on the fine lees in tank. From vineyard parcels in Mâcon, Chaintré and Igé, or simply, Mâcon-Villages, but which they bottle as Bourgogne Chardonnay to make a clear break with their Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse cuvées. This wine sees a full 12 months aging in tank on its lees. Organic & sustainable farming practices.

Originally from the “Nievre” region in France, Alain Normand settled in Mâcon to develop and manage a 13 hectares vineyards business. Since the company was taken over by Mr. Normand in 1993, the vineyards kept expanding. In 2010 his wife, Sylvaine Normand joined him as a partner and obtained additional family owned hectares of land. Since the partnership in 2010 the business aimed at conquering new markets with solid know-how based on both partners experiences of the industry.

The Vineyards have also integrated a strong corporate social responsibility to guarantee a low environmental impact production. The company shares and respects local traditions with the production of natural quality wines. The vineyard insisted on avoiding any changes within the land and adapted to the territory.
