Domaine des Valanges, Mâconnais, St-Véran, Burgundy, 2015

This Mâconnais domaine was founded by Michel and Jocelyne Paquet, who have built their vineyeard holdings over the past 35 years to 11 hectares, 8 of which are in St-Véran. Made with minimal intervention, this is a deliciously pure unoaked Chardonnay, with vibrant tart apple fruit flavours and creamy, honeyed notes of almond nougat. Zippy acidity and a long finish.
