In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A pale gold Chardonnay with green reflections, opening with lemon curd and white blossom before unfolding into ripe stone fruit. The limestone soils of the Mâconnais deliver a mineral spine and saline length — structured yet approachable, with the crisp acidity and 13% ABV that make it both food-friendly and elegant on its own.

The Winery — Domaine Corsin

Founded by Joseph Jacquet in 1864 with just two hectares, Domaine Corsin has grown across five generations to manage 13.6 hectares of Chardonnay in the Mâconnais. The domaine was among the first to establish the region's classic appellations and remains committed to an unhurried philosophy: hand-harvest, temperature control, no shortcuts. The 2023 vintage fruit comes from 30-year-old vines rooted in clay-limestone around Davayé and Solutré. Hand-harvested and gently pressed, the wine spent six months on its fine lees in stainless steel, building texture without oak's heaviness.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is the wine for roasted chicken, poached fish, and any dish finished with butter and cream sauce — beurre blanc with crab, soft cheese like Brie, mushroom risotto. At 13% ABV with bone-dry character, it rewards both a casual weeknight meal and a more deliberate Sunday lunch. The acidity will carry it through several years in the cellar, though it drinks beautifully now.
