We can’t tell you the real name of the Forces Telluriques — it’s an iconic Mâconnais source with an exclusive importer for the primary label. But it’s the same juice in the bottle, and extraordinary juice it is. The family who creates this wine are true believers in the theory of biodynamics — minimal vineyard intervention in the vines, meticulous and hands-off winemaking.
The resulting cuvée is a living, breathing wine, bursting from the bottle, ready to commune with the natural world. It’s pure Chardonnay, entirely unoaked – the nose explodes from the glass with tangerine, honey and lemon peel. The mouth is cool, long and luxurious with tremendous energy wrapped into a fleshy core.
We often convert red drinkers to white with this wine.
