Estate

Château des Rontets is a renowned estate in the Mâconnais region, known for its exceptional white wines. The estate emphasizes environmentally friendly cultivation and meticulous vinification to express the unique character of its terroirs. With a long-standing tradition, it maintains a consistent reputation among wine enthusiasts. The production primarily focuses on Chardonnay-based wines, reflecting the distinct terroir of the region. Its philosophy aims to combine finesse and complexity in every bottle.

Vineyard

The vineyard is located in the Mâconnais area, famous for its elegant white wines. The vines grow on clay-limestone soils, providing freshness and mineral notes. Practicing sustainable viticulture, the estate ensures optimal ripeness and true expression of the terroir. The vineyard enjoys moderate sunshine, ideal for Chardonnay. The regional typicity results in wines that are both soft and structured.

Wine

The Pouilly-Fuissé from Château des Rontets is a refined white wine with balanced richness and aromatic complexity. Its pale, bright yellow color is complemented by nose notes of white fruits, flint, and vanilla. On the palate, it offers expressive breadth, marked mineral notes, and a long finish. This wine embodies the typical elegance of the appellation. Vinification focuses on preserving purity and the fruitiness of Chardonnay.

Vintage

The 2021 vintage benefited from favorable weather conditions, allowing grapes to reach optimal ripeness. An sun-drenched summer followed by cool nights helped concentrate aromas. The harvest was homogeneous, ensuring finesse and balance. Precise vinification enhanced aromatic complexity. This vintage is considered an excellent expression of Château des Rontets.

Vinification & Aging

Grapes are harvested at peak maturity, then destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation occurs partly in oak barrels and partly in tanks to preserve freshness. Aging lasts around 12 months, primarily on fine lees to add structure and complexity. Regular bâtonnage supports aromatic expression. Careful attention at each stage results in a balanced, elegant wine true to its terroir.
