Winemaker & Philosophy

The Thevenet family, stewards of Domaine Thevenet & Fils, have been crafting wines in the Mâconnais for generations. Their philosophy centers on sustainable farming and minimal intervention winemaking, ensuring that each wine is a true representation of its origins. By harvesting manually and focusing on natural fermentation, they aim to highlight the purity and typicity of their Chardonnay.

Grape Variety & Terroir

Made from 100% Chardonnay, this Mâcon-Villages Blanc is sourced from vineyards situated on limestone and clay soils typical of the Mâconnais. The region’s southern location and slightly warmer climate contribute to the wine’s balance of ripeness and acidity, while the limestone soil imparts its characteristic minerality and precision.

Flavor Profile

This wine greets the senses with aromas of crisp green apple, citrus peel, and white blossoms, complemented by subtle undertones of crushed stone and almond. On the palate, it delivers a lively profile of lemon, golden pear, and a whisper of tropical fruit, balanced by a clean mineral backbone and vibrant acidity. The finish is refreshingly crisp and lingers with notes of citrus zest and saline.

Pairings

Domaine Thevenet & Fils’ Mâcon-Villages Blanc is a versatile companion for a variety of dishes. It pairs seamlessly with seafood such as oysters, grilled shrimp, or white fish, and complements creamy chicken dishes, risottos, or mild cheeses like chèvre. Its bright profile also makes it a delightful aperitif.
