Clos Noly is named after the oldest vineyard at Domaine Manciat-Poncet which is based in Chaintré, owned and managed by the jubilant Marie-Pierre Manciat, who represents the 5th generation of vignorons in her family. There are 23 total hectares spread out among 5 villages. The Domaine is meticulously run with the utmost focus on bringing in perfect fruit. Clos Noly practices sustainable viticulture. The yields at this domaine are routinely 20-30 percent lower than what is allowed in each given appellation allowing Marie-Pierre to craft wines that are rich and powerful while remaining focused with an emphasis on the calcaire rich soils of each terroir.
This ebullient Chardonnay is the perfect introduction to Marie-Pierre's wines - pure and clean... very "compact" and mineral-driven... yet buoyed by a ripe, tropical nose and flavors of dried apricots. A chalky finish is more akin to Chablis than Macon, but that is what sets her wines apart! They are just so... salivating! There is a cheeky charm to this wine, making it the perfect starter with salty snacks like olives, stuffed grape leaves and feta tossed with fresh tomatoes. Move on to grilled fish, an antipasto platter, a mixed salad... getting hungry now... hmm... sushi? Divine...
