Domaine Thibert Mâcon-Prissé ‘en Chailloux’

The palate is bright, mineral, and citrus‑driven, opening with lime zest, lemon peel, and crisp green apple. The fruit feels precise and energetic, shaped by the altitude and the limestone‑influenced clay soils. A mid‑palate of white peach, pear, and subtle citrus cream adds quiet roundness, while the stainless‑steel élevage keeps the wine linear, taut, and crystalline. The small barrel component brings a soft, pastry‑like warmth without shifting the wine away from its mineral core. As it opens, a thread of wet stone, chalk dust, and oyster‑shell salinity emerges, giving the wine tension and length. The finish is dry, lightly austere, and finely etched, tapering with notes of lime pith, pear skin, and a faint floral echo. Overall, it’s a precise, mineral, beautifully balanced Mâcon‑Prissé — refined, energetic, and very much in Thibert’s clean, terroir‑driven style.
