Vignerons de Mancey Mâcon Chardonnay · Burgundy, France · 2020

The Moment

This is the bottle that gets opened once dinner plans shift from “simple” to “actually pretty good.” It’s casual but thoughtful — the kind of wine that quietly raises the bar without asking for attention.

What It Feels Like

Fresh green apple, pear, and lemon zest lead, followed by white peach and soft floral notes. There’s a gentle roundness from extended time on lees — just enough to smooth the edges — while crisp acidity and a subtle mineral core keep everything clean and focused. The finish is elegant and lightly nutty, with hints of almond and toasted hazelnut lingering in the background.

Perfect For

• Roast chicken, turkey, or weeknight pork dishes

• Creamy pastas, risotto, or mushroom-forward plates

• When you want Burgundy character without Burgundy seriousness

The Vibe Pairing

• Playlist energy: Acoustic indie, mellow folk, relaxed dinner jazz

• Aura color: Soft gold with limestone white

• Time of day: Early evening → dinner settling in

Why We Love It

This is Mâcon Chardonnay doing exactly what it does best — fresh, balanced, and quietly comforting. The extended lees aging adds texture without weight, making this a wine that feels complete, easy to pair, and easy to enjoy. Honest Burgundy, no posturing required.
