Pale straw with subtle green highlights, the 2024 Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau Mâcon-Village Clos Saint Pancras is a precise, terroir driven expression of Chardonnay from a single certified organic site on the Montagne de Clessé near Viré. The nose opens with fresh lemon zest, white peach, and green apple, layered with notes of crushed limestone and a gentle saline edge. The vineyard’s east exposure, cool 240 meter altitude, and constant north wind lend a lifted, airy quality that keeps the aromatics focused and bright.
On the palate, the wine is vibrant and finely etched, showing pear skin, citrus pith, and subtle stone fruit supported by brisk, mouthwatering acidity. The light limestone soils mixed with small stones from an old quarry come through clearly in the wine’s mineral tension and faint chalky grip. Fermented with indigenous yeast and aged in older foudre, the texture is quietly expressive, adding depth and roundness without masking the purity of fruit or sense of place.
The finish is clean, energetic, and persistent, with lingering notes of orchard fruit, wet stone, and a touch of savory freshness. Drawn from 30 plus year old vines, this is a thoughtful and transparent Mâcon-Village that balances immediacy with nuance, offering both refreshment and real character.
