Vignes du Maynes 2025 Macon-Cruzille Cuvée 910 (Arrives October)

This special wine is a commemoration of eleven hundred years of winemaking, the vineyards in the Clos des Vignes du Maynes having been planted around AD 900 and wine first produced for the Abbey of Cluny around 910. This "medieval" wine is a field blend of Chardonnay, Gamay and Pinot Noir, including the old varieties Gamay Petit Grain and Pinot Fin. The grapes were carefully hand-harvested then pressed by foot, vinified and aged without sulfur and bottled by hand in the spring.  The color is a lovely bright red/black; the aromas are ripe and floral with violet, ripe black-cherry and a melange of lush berries. The palate is light but loaded with ripe, pure berry fruit backed by citrusy acids. The 2025 bottling is absolutely gorgeous and should gain complexity with time, perhaps three to five years (or more?) but it's much too delicious right now... Zero added SO2.
