History

The Château de la Tour de l'Ange in Davayé is a 47-hectare estate that offers a range of Mâconnais and Beaujolais wines.

Mâcon-Villages

Grape variety

Chardonnay

Origin

The hills of Macon form a group separated by parallel faults and are either North / North East or South / South West facing slopes. They extend over 40 km to the west inline with Tournus to Mâcon. Thanks to the powerful abbeys of Cluny and Tournus the vineyards have been established here since Gallo-Roman times.

Soil

Siliceous clay or sandy, often mixed with "chert" or sandstone pebbles, promotes a premature Chardonnay.

Vinification

Mechanical harvest. The grapes are pressed on arrival at the winery using pneumatic presses. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks thermo-regulated at 16°C. The wines are aged on fine lees for 10 months in stainless steel.
