The 2023 Bret Brothers Mâcon-Chardonnay Climat Les Crays is a beautifully focused and mineral-driven Chardonnay from a limestone-rich single climat in the Mâconnais. Produced from organically farmed vineyards and crafted with minimal intervention, the wine reflects the freshness and precision that define the Bret Brothers style while highlighting the stony character of the Les Crays site. The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered alongside white flowers, crushed stone and subtle almond notes, giving the wine impressive lift and clarity.

On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, fine textural depth and a tightly wound mineral core. Layers of citrus and orchard fruit are balanced by gentle lees complexity and saline freshness, finishing long, crisp and beautifully detailed with excellent tension and persistence.

Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Bret Brothers Mâcon-Chardonnay Climat Les Crays is a superb terroir-driven Mâcon Chardonnay - mineral, precise and beautifully refined with excellent freshness and balance. Perfect with oysters, grilled prawns, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or soft goat’s cheese. Enjoy now through 2033+.

About the region

Burgundy · Mâconnais

Burgundy, or Bourgogne, runs north to south through eastern France, from Chablis through the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune to the Mâconnais. Almost everything here is Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, grown on small parcels called climats that have been mapped for centuries and ranked from regional and village wines up to Premier Cru and Grand Cru. The result is wine of unusual precision: the same grape, a few hundred metres apart, tasting unmistakably different.
