In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A pale lemon expression that sits between fruit and structure: ripe pear and stone fruit on the nose, balanced by a stony minerality that runs through the palate. Full and layered without the heaviness oaked wines carry, at 13.5% ABV this Chardonnay drinks with real freshness and invites you back for another glass.

The Winery — Domaine Corsin

A fifth-generation family producer with roots stretching to 1864, Domaine Corsin pioneered Saint-Véran and Mâcon Blanc labelling in the Mâconnais. Their signature 'Tirage Précoce' method—hand-harvested grapes gently pressed, cold-fermented in stainless steel, then aged on the lees—lets terroir speak without oak. The 2023 vintage was plentiful across the region; careful vineyard and cellar sorting ensured only the finest grapes made it to bottle. Twenty-five-year-old vines planted in clay-limestone soils around Davayé contribute the mineral backbone distinctive to Corsin's expression. Today the domaine owns 13.6 hectares and remains committed to the restraint that reveals Chardonnay's true refinement.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Serve this chilled with roasted chicken, steamed shellfish, or creamy French goat cheese—equally at home with simple seafood preparations. It works without fuss for lunch or dinner, a wine that rewards curiosity about what France's lesser-known Burgundy regions can achieve when winemaking is this thoughtful.
