The 2020 Mâcon-Chardonnay Les Combettes opens in the glass with scents of crisp orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, confit citrus and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a seamless core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky extract, it saw almost 18 months’ élevage. As I’ve written before, Les Combettes is adjacent to Genevrières (situated in the next valley over from Cruzille proper, near the village of Grevilly), but more south facing, attaining half a degree more natural alcohol as a result, which tends to make it the most immediate wine in the range.

Varietal Chardonnay

Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.
