Pouilly-Fuissé "Vieilles Vignes"
Pouilly-Fuissé AOC
Chardonnay
Based in the town of Fuissé, Domaine Cordier has excelled in producing some of the finest examples of Chardonnay in the Mâcon region. Old-vines in both Fuissé and Vergisson, produce a fruit driven style with meyer lemon, nectarine, and orchard fruits. On the palate, a chalky minerality with delicate oak and butter notes is balanced by a vivacious energy and freshness.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Combining a traditional style with the best of technology, the Domaine completed a completely gravity fed winery in 2012. The grapes are farmed according to organic and biodynamic principles, vinified with indigenous yeast, and aged extendedly with the fine lees in barrels. Christophe puts a lot of time and thought into the selection, toasting, and size of each barrel used for his wines.

Milly-Lamartine "Clos du Four"
Mâcon, Milly-Lamartine AOC
Chardonnay
Hometown to the poet Alphonse de Lamartine, we would like to think that the textures and flavors of this wine are poetic as well. Floral aromas express honeysuckle and spice with structured lemon curd, stone, and orchard fruits. The palate is lush and round with hints of oak and vanilla with a melodious finish.
POINTS OF INTEREST
The Lieu-Dit of "Clos du Four" is split between Domaine Cordier and Domaine Comtes Lafon. The two great producers in the Mâcon region. This walled, high elevation vineyard, has very old vines producing a wine of immense pleasure. The Mâcon region is largely dominated by co-ops and simple wines but small grower producers like Cordier are showing the region at its best.
