Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Clean and bright with distinctive lemon and mineral notes on the nose, this wine engulfs the palate with a lively acidity that leads to a supple finish. A classic example of the lengths a Macon-Village Chardonnay can achieve.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Clean and gentle, with scents of tart green apples and pear, lemon pith and tarragon. A classic Macon, this is a crunchy, leesy white for pork roast.

Maison Matisco’s name pays tribute to its historical roots, as the city of Macon was called "Matisco" in the 2nd century BC and functioned as an active river port where boats traveled to and from Rome carrying amphorae of wine.

Today, owners, winemakers and brothers, Richard and Stephane Martin carry on the family business that their father, Maurice, started 50 years ago, founding the family estate, Domaine de la Croix Senaillet in 1969. The winery has been certified organic "Agriculture Biologique", since 2005. In 1992 Richard and Stephane took over, bringing new ideas to the forefront but continuing their father’s work, maintaining the same legacy of passion for Burgundy and Chardonnay that the family has always encompassed.

Maison Matisco is Richard's and Stephane's new venture which has allowed them to broaden their selections and offer Burgundy wines from areas outside of Saint-Veran and Pouilly-Fuisse. This has enabled the introduction of diversity but still ensures the same level of expertise that fans have long become accustomed to. The Martins recognize that in the growing prestige and increased global interest in the white wines of Burgundy, some have a strong preference for specific terroirs or fidelity to a particular style of wine. They have founded Maison Matisco to meet this demand. Quality and consistency are notions that have led their journey so far and will continue to do so, crafting wines that are expressive of their terroir, allowing devotees to buy with confidence.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

These are the fun, fruit-driven and lively Chardonnays of white Burgundy, often offering some fantastic values and options that you don’t have to cellar. Flavors range from fresh green apple and lemon to melon or pineapple; some of the best are fleshy and mineral driven or balanced by a light touch of oak.

Mâconnais Chardonnay may have the weight of their more serious Côte de Beaune sisters, but not quite the refinement. Still, this appellation is one of the best ways to jump from California Chardonnay to something new and begin to understand white Burgundy.

The Mâconnais region is warmer and drier than the rest of Burgundy to its north (Côte d’Or) and has a landscape of rolling hills and farmland interspersed among vineyards. The region produces a lot of Chardonnay—Viré-Clessé and Pouilly-Fuisse are among the best—and a very small amount of red wine from Gamay and Pinot Noir. The soils of Mâconnais remain limestone dominant like in the Côte d’Or, making it a wonderful spot for Chardonnay to thrive. Gamay's home of Beaujolais lies just to the south.
