Domaine Catherine et Didier Tripoz
In the southern part of the Macon region one finds the charming town of Charnay-les-Macon. There, Domaine Catherine et Didier Tripoz makes some fantastic expressions of Chardonnay at easy prices. They own 10 hectares, planted mainly to Chardonnay, with vines that are between 25 and 65 years of age. They face south/southwest for maximum luminosity, and the soil here is full of clay and limestone.
Didier allows grass to grow between the rows and regularly ploughs the earth to ensure an active biological environment. Not only does this improve the health of the vineyard, it limits the vigor of the vines and forces them to work harder, concentrating the flavors of the wine.
Didier's Macon Charnay Clos des Tournons is a beautiful, rich expression of the Chardonnay grape. The wine offers tons of ripe golden and green apples on the nose, with flowery notes and hints of nuts. Similar aspects follow on the palate, with a vivid, bracing acidity that balances the fruit and cleanses the palate. This is not your average Macon!
