Frantz Chagnoleau 2024 Macon Villages, Clos St Pancras
From a single site on the Montagne de Clessé near Viré at 720 feet altitude. Eastern exposure that receives very frequent North winds. Fermented and aged in old foudre this wine is very transparant and focused with stone, green apple, and mineral tension. Charming and pure with great movement on the palate.

Frantz Chagnoleau 2024 Vire-Clessé Les Raspilleres
From the highest elevation site in Vire-Clessé, aged in older demi-muides and charming from the onset, this wine is bright, driven, and pure. The limestone soil helps showcase the minerality against a heady floral mix with lemon-lime zest. A sapid finish with juicy zip draws you right back for another taste. This wine oozes class.

Frantz Chagnoleau 2024 Saint Veran A La Roche
A mere 80 cases produced from a .42 hectare plot on blue marn soils. La Roche is prone to Millerandage (chicks and hens) which requires extra efforts in the vineyard and can greatly affect yields. After some coaxing from the glass, touches of stone fruit, peach skin, oyster shells. The palate is full of restrained power with lively with movement and drive. Delicious now, five years or more of patience in the cellar will certainly be rewarded.

Frantz Chagnoleau 2024 Pouilly Fuisse Madrigal
From a selection of different parcels, the couple targets barrels that show more austerity and reduction. Classic White Burgundy with longer elevage that's built to age in bottle. Deeper more compact yellow fruit, nectarine, and white peach on the nose with a wisp of dried honey. More weight on the palate with a lovely creaminess this wine is almost Meursault-like. Delicious but quite coiled right now there is great promise here. Either decant or give it 5-10 years in the cellar.
