ESTATE HISTORY 

Founded in 1935 by Antoine Clavelier, the Maison Clavelier was taken over in 2001 by Henri-Noël and Isabelle Thomas. Driven by their passion for wine, they combine art and tradition with respect for the terroirs to o er the palates of connoisseurs the greatest wines of Burgundy.

In 2020 and after several years at the head of the House and Domaine Clavelier, Isabelle Thomas handed over this 2.8 hectare estate to her son Paul to ensure its continued existence. Quality and authenticity, the key words of Clavelier.

TERROIR

A regional appellation of the Máconnais, Macon-Villages only produces white wines over an appellation area covering 11 villages on the many hilltops of the region.

VITICULTURE

Sustainable farming

WINEMAKING

After being harvested by hand, the grapes are destalked and then pressed ready for vinification in new 500 litre oak barrels.

The wines are then aged for 6 to 12 months in barrels that have seen two previous vintages.

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS

This Macon-Villages has an attractive white gold robe with silve-highlights. On the nose, its aromas suggest white rose, acacia, honeysuckle, fern, verbena and citrus (grapefruit and mandarin).

On the palate, this wine is fresh, dry but well fruited - and very drinkable. It also offers a good balance between concentration and acidity. It is a round, smooth wine typical of the appellation.

The appetizer will be a loyal ally of this Mâcon-Villages. Balanced and, therefore, versatile, it is also very easily associated with poultry, veal in cream sauce and risotto. In summer, grilled fish, ratatouille and mixed salads will not be able to resist it. Even sushi and goat's cheese have adopted it.

To be served between 10°C and 13°C.
