Notes on the Wine
The wine pours a deep ruby‑crimson with luminous purple hints at the rim, offering an immediate visual allure. On the nose, it reveals an elegant bouquet of ripe red fruits—cherry, raspberry, and subtle wild strawberry—enhanced by delicate sous‑bois, earthy mushroom, and soft spice undertones. The palate delivers a velvety texture with bright, juicy cherry and raspberry flavors, beautifully balanced by refined tannins and a gentle touch of oak‑driven vanilla and licorice, leading to a persistent, nuanced finish. A wine of graceful structure and finesse, it pairs exceptionally well with roast meats, game, or aged cheeses—delivering classic Burgundian elegance and value.
Notes on the Producer
Château de la Greffière is a historic, family-run estate nestled in La Roche-Vineuse in Burgundy’s Mâconnais region, with a winemaking heritage dating back to 1585 and owned by the Greuzard family since 1924. Spanning around 60 hectares across eight villages, the estate cultivates Chardonnay, Aligoté, Pinot Noir, and Gamay, producing a diverse lineup that includes Mâcon-La Roche-Vineuse, Saint-Véran, Bourgogne, Saint-Amour, and Crémant de Bourgogne. Traditional at heart yet forward-looking, the property features a museum housed in its original 1789 vaulted cellar and offers immersive vineyard and cellar experiences, reflecting a deep commitment to terroir, craftsmanship, and Burgundy’s rich winemaking legacy.
