Ripe Yellow Apple, White Peach, Acacia Blossom, and Sun-Drenched Mâconnais Chardonnay Charm

The 2024 Joseph Drouhin Mâcon-Bussières "Les Clos" is a vibrant, supple, and beautifully aromatic 100% Chardonnay from the southern tip of the Mâconnais in Burgundy. Sourced from the well-exposed "Les Clos" parcel in Bussières, near the iconic rock formations of Vergisson and Solutré, this cuvée combines generous orchard fruit richness with crisp limestone freshness. Lifted aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, lemon blossom, and crushed chalk lead into a medium-bodied, mouth-watering palate framed by balanced acidity and a clean, mineral finish.

Terroir & Maison Craft

  • The "Les Clos" Parcel in Bussières: Sourced from the vineyard of Bussières in the southern Mâconnais, situated adjacent to Vergisson and the famed cliffs of Solutré. The hillside vines thrive on limestone-marl and Jurassic clay soils, yielding Chardonnay with expressive floral aromatics, round stone fruit flavors, and precise mineral structure.
  • Classic Drouhin Precision: Harvested with careful sorting, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented under temperature control. Matured for 6 to 8 months on fine lees in stainless steel vats with a small portion aged in seasoned French oak barrels to preserve fruit freshness, aromatic clarity, and a supple mouthfeel.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay harvested from the prized "Les Clos" parcel in Bussières, southern Burgundy.
  • A radiant 2024 release packed with yellow apple, white peach, acacia flowers, and crushed limestone.
  • Crafted by Maison Joseph Drouhin, offering immediate enjoyment over the next 3 to 6 years.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Luminous pale straw-gold with bright greenish reflections.
  • Nose: Fresh, floral, and inviting. It opens with aromas of ripe golden apple, white peach, and pear, accompanied by notes of white blossom, lemon peel, crushed chalk, and subtle toasted almond.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and harmonious. The entry brings a supple wave of juicy orchard fruit sap that glides across the mid-palate, held together by crisp, refreshing acidity and a clean, saline-mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 10–12°C to highlight its fresh fruit purity and floral aromatics.
  • Decanting: No decanting needed; open and serve fresh. Best enjoyed now through 2029+.
  • Western Pairing: Grilled sea bass, roast chicken with herbs, goat cheese salad, or seafood risotto.
  • Asian Pairing: Steamed dim sum (har gow), Cantonese poached chicken, salt-and-pepper squid, or vegetable tempura.
