region: Macon, Maconnais, Burgundy, France
Grape(s): Chardonnay
Farming: practicing sustainable

The Thevenet family has been working with importer extraordinaire Neal Rosenthal for more than 30 years. Over that time, the family has built their vineyard holdings to nearly 75 acres, yet they remain focused on producing the pure, balanced wine upon which the domaine was founded. Their flagship Chardonnay is a blend of four separate vineyard parcels located within the commune of Pierreclos. While the wine sees no oak, it is stirred on the lees to make for a richer, softer and more natural style of Burgundy. It boasts apple skin and pear on the nose and palate, along with mild acidity leading to a gentle, yet refreshing finish.
