Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse 2023 Simon Faure
The Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse 2023 by Simon Faure exemplifies the purity and energy of the modern Mâconnais. The vineyards sit on the limestone slopes of La Roche-Vineuse, where fine-grained calcareous soils rich in mineral deposits shape wines with tension, precision and a naturally expressive character. Simon Faure adopts a minimal-intervention approach in the vineyard, cultivating healthy, balanced vines without chemical additives, allowing the fruit to fully capture the identity of the terroir.
In the cellar, the philosophy remains uncompromising: spontaneous fermentations with native yeasts, zero enological inputs and no sulfur additions, except for a tiny dose at bottling. Gentle pressing preserves the purity of the juice, while a 12-month ageing in old, neutral oak barrels contributes finesse and texture without imprinting any overt wood character.
In the glass, the wine shines with a pale golden color. The aromatic profile is refined and layered, offering ripe yellow apple, pear, white peach, almond and linden blossom, alongside a subtle smoky nuance. On the palate, it is both ample and energetic: fresh, balanced and mineral, with inner tension driving the wine toward a sustained, saline and silky finish. The interplay between fruit richness and limestone-driven precision makes this cuvée a striking demonstration of the estate’s style.
Ideal with grilled fish, shellfish, salmon, sea bream, or delicate white meat such as poultry with light sauces. It also pairs beautifully with herb-driven vegetarian dishes or soft cheeses, highlighting its finesse and gastronomic versatility.
