Macon-Uchizy 2023, Cave Talmard

The Estate
Uchizy is a small village in the northern part of the Maconnais, where the flat, rich alluvial plain beside the Saone River starts to rise towards the limestone outcrops to the West. The Talmard family produces only one wine, made from 100% Chardonnay and fermented entirely in tank. They believe that the combination of the rich, clayey soil, interspersed with mineral deposits produces a wine of such interesting, pure fruit flavours that any wood ageing would only serve to mar it.
