Domaine Marcel Couturier, Macon Loché Longues Terres, 2022

Domaine Marcel Couturier’s Mâcon-Loché Longues Terres 2022 is a beautifully expressive white Burgundy from the village of Loché in southern Mâconnais, offering the generosity and softness this part of Bourgogne is known for. It delivers impressive quality and character at a regionally attractive price point, making it a smart choice for anyone seeking serious Chardonnay without the usual Côte d’Or price tag.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a lovely golden hue that hints at its warmth and texture. The nose opens with acacia, camphor, vanilla, and a subtle toasted note reminiscent of fresh sourdough crust, giving the bouquet both freshness and complexity. On the palate, it is broad and succulent, with layers of lemon, pomelo, peach, nectarine, pineapple, and apple unfolding in a generous, juicy style. The finish is notably long and persistent, and the wine has the balance and structure to drink beautifully now while also developing additional nuance over the next few years.

Production
This wine comes from Loché in the Mâconnais, a southern Burgundian terroir known for producing fuller, rounder Chardonnay with excellent value. The wine was matured for 11 months in French oak barrels, adding subtle spice, texture, and a gently toasted dimension to the final blend.

Food & Serving
Serve this Chardonnay lightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, to preserve its freshness while allowing the richer fruit and oak notes to show. It pairs well with roast chicken, creamy poultry dishes, lobster, seared scallops, mushroom risotto, and softly aged cheeses; decanting is not necessary, though a little time in the glass will help the aromatics open up.
