By Domaine Gueugnon-Remond
Macon-Prisse 2018

Tasting Notes
Domaine Gueugnon-Remond's 2018 Macon-Prisse is a wine that has a delicious attack in both the nose and palate that explains itself thoroughly. The aromatic nose foreshadows the incredible roundness and fresh fruit found within the palate. Enjoy as an aperitif, or with white meats and fish.

Vintage
Burgundy's 2018 season began with a mild winter and left into a hot and dry summer. By August, the harvest was rushing into view with the vines slowly showing how parched they had become. However, 2018 gave Burgundy historically high yields for their white wines with a sense of charm and balance carrying throughout them all.

Vineyard
These 35-year-old Chardonnay vines are planted in a clay-limestone soil with a southern-sun exposure and are managed with sustainable farming practices only. After harvesting, the fruits are placed into temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for both maceration and fermentation. When the process is complete, the juice remains on lees until bottling in April.

Winemakers
Established in 1980, the Gueugnon-Remond family has become a force to be reckoned with. Now, with the second generation of winemakers slowly coming to take over, the vineyard represents the perfect balance of traditional winemaking and representation of the soil.
