Maison Skyaasen is expertly run by Joachim and Olivia. Their passion for wine and the Burgundy terroir led them to move to Burgundy in 2017 to establish an exceptional wine trading business that would reflect the region’s terroir and grape varieties. Together, they vinify the region’s finest grape varieties with passion. Well aware of the current environmental concerns and with a view to protecting biodiversity, they produce their wines with the utmost respect for the fruit. Vinification is thus low-interventionist. Fermentation is achieved thanks to naturally occurring yeasts present in the grapes, and sulphur is only added in minimal quantities. The region’s finest appellations are given the opportunity to express all their delicate aromas naturally in each of the vintages produced. Their aim is to offer authentic wines that exude the region’s terroir, sublimated by a unique and ancestral expertise.

The Chardonnay vines stretch across the heart of the Mâconnais hills, bordered by the Saône and Grosne rivers. The southern and south-western exposure provides the vines with the ideal amount of sunshine for the grapes to ripen properly. Siliceous soils consisting of clay and sand greatly favour the development of the grapes. The grapes carefully harvested at peak maturity are vinified in a balanced, low-interventionist manner, allowing the Macon terroir to freely express its full personality.
The golden colour with hints of silver is complemented by an expressive bouquet bursting with delicious aromas of orchard fruits such as apple, pear, apricot and peach. The frank, expressive attack on the palate gives way to a superb acidic structure, leading to a deliciously long, refreshing finish. This cuvée will display the full extent of its finest aromas in its youth.
