About this winery

In the heart of the Mâconnais vineyard, in the south of Burgundy (in the Tournus-Cluny-Mâcon triangle) the Azé winery was created in 1927, following the economic crises of the time. At the beginning, the cooperative winegrowers grouped together to buy equipment and made their wine together. It is the same nowadays with the help of two wine experts.

Product notes

Hand-harvesting of the grapes, followed by low-temperature fermentation to preserve the aromas. The wine is then aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks for several months, which gives it roundness and freshness. The result is a balanced wine with notes of fresh fruit and beautiful minerality.

Tasting notes

An intense and flattering nose marked by orchard fruits such as peach, apricot, and quince, combined with notes of white flowers like acacia. Lively on the attack, and this sensation persists on the palate thanks to a tangy framework that brings a fairly long finish. Both charming, delicious, and straightforward.
