Mâcon Cruzille Rouge "Manganite" 2022 | Wine from Domaine Julien Guillot

Located in the heart of the Mâconnais, the Clos des Vignes du Maynes is a historic estate, recorded as early as 910 by the abbot of Cluny. This vineyard has always been cultivated with the utmost respect for nature, without the use of pesticides or synthetic chemicals. Since the 1950s, Alain Guillot, Julien's father, adopted pioneering natural winemaking methods. Today, Julien Guillot continues this legacy with passion and precision, offering authentic and expressive wines that are true to their terroir.

The Mâcon Cruzille Rouge "Manganite" 2022 comes from the Gamay à petits grains grape, grown on a terroir rich in minerals and clay-limestone. This vintage is distinguished by its aromatic intensity and elegant structure. The grapes are carefully selected and vinified naturally to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir.

This wine features an intense red color with garnet highlights. On the nose, it reveals powerful notes of black pepper, sweet spices, and generous aromas of ripe cherries. On the palate, the wine reveals a beautiful ample structure, supported by a vibrant mineral freshness. The tannins are fine and silky, offering a beautiful aromatic persistence on the finish.

The Mâcon Cruzille Rouge "Manganite" 2022 is a versatile wine that pairs perfectly with rich and flavorful dishes. It will wonderfully accompany a grilled rib of beef, a pork tenderloin with sweet spices, or a roasted poultry with Provence herbs. It will also enhance vegetarian dishes, such as a Provençal ratatouille or a wild mushroom risotto.

The vinification of this cuvée is carried out naturally, with spontaneous fermentation thanks to the indigenous yeasts. The aging process is carefully managed to allow the wine to develop aromatic complexity and a beautiful structure while maintaining remarkable freshness.
