Domaine de Monterrain Macon-Serrieres 2018

Domaine de Monterrain Macon-Serrieres 2018

A light bodied wine made from the Gamay grape with
fresh fennel and green plum flavours finishing on a
refreshingly dry note.
Producer Note
Domaine de Monterrain is a small domaine owned by the Ferret family. This domain has
been passed down from father to son for over five generations. Patrick and Martine
Ferret are the current owners and take great pride in tending their 10 hectares of
hillside vineyards situated around the village of Serrières in the Saône et Loire. Nine
hectares of vines are planted with Gamay and, as a new venture, one hectare was
planted with Chardonnay grapes in 2003. The Ferret family takes great pride in its
Mâcon Serrières which is produced in an easy drinking style typical of the area.
Vineyard
The vines are grown in granitic soil, which warms up quickly and retains the heat well.
The soil's high levels of acidity minimise the acidity levels in the grapes, which works well
with naturally acidic varieties such as Gamay.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested at optimum maturity levels. Fermentation took place in
temperature controlled vats, preserving the integrity of the primary aromas and the
nuances of the terroir from which it hails. Following the fermentation, the wine was
matured in tank for a minimum of six months prior to being bottled.
Tasting Note
An easy drinking style of wine made from the Gamay grape. Light bodied and fresh,
with notes of spice and minerality leading to a dry finish.
