The 2024 Domaine Talmard Mâcon-Chardonnay is a beautifully expressive 100% Chardonnay from the heart of the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy. Produced by the Talmard family, whose vineyards have been cultivated for generations on limestone and clay soils, the wine is fermented with natural yeasts and made in a predominantly unoaked style to preserve its freshness and purity. The nose is bright and inviting, revealing crisp apple, white peach and grapefruit layered with hints of lemon zest, almond and delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a creamy texture, lively acidity and impressive mineral freshness. Flavours of ripe orchard fruit and citrus are complemented by subtle chalky notes, leading to a clean, dry finish with excellent balance and finesse. Fresh, elegant and effortlessly drinkable, it is a classic Mâcon Chardonnay that showcases the purity and value for which the Talmard family is renowned.
Ben's Recommendation:
The 2024 Domaine Talmard Mâcon-Chardonnay pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, roast chicken, pan-seared white fish, creamy pasta, fresh goat's cheese or mushroom risotto. Serve lightly chilled at 10–12°C and enjoy now through 2030 while its vibrant fruit, creamy texture and mineral freshness are at their best.
