| Mâcon Rouge |
| situation |
The Mâcon red vineyard is situated between Tournus and Mâcon.
It is bordered
in the north and the west by the River Grosne, a tributary
of the River Saône, in the east by the River Saône plain and in the south
by the Beaujolais massif.
The TRENEL selection is a blend of wines from Igé, in the heart
of the region |
| tasting |
Deep red currant colour. This Macon Rouge should be drunk young to take
advantage of its red berry flavour (blackcurrant, raspberry).
Its finely balanced tannins make this a pleasing, fruity and rounded wine with
the typical flavour of its terroir. The tannins will evolve over time towards
a many-layered bouquet,ensuring good ageing potential up to 2007. |
| HOW TO DRINK AND SERVE |
It can be served at a temperature of 12 to 14°. It is the perfect match
for a small "mâchon" (a typical lunch in Lyon) between friends
and accompanies cold cuts, meat and goat's cheese very well. |
