The Wine Advocate 90/100
Aromas of honeyed pear, white flowers and beeswax introduce the 2021 Mâcon-Chaintré Les Serreuxdières, a medium-bodied, ample and satiny wine that's pure and precise, with tangy acids and a saline finish. As usual, this has turned out very well.
This fine 10-hectare domaine located in and around Chaintré produces excellent wines from seriously farmed vineyards. The Cornins practice biodynamic methods in a sector where such conscientiousness is far from the norm, harvesting by hand and vinifying in stainless steel, followed by élevage in used barrels and demi-muids for the lieu-dit bottlings. Many of the domaine's vines are very old—fully a century old in the case of Les Serreudières. The result is fleshy but succulent wines that deliver immense pleasure on release but which are balanced to mature gracefully in the cellar. The 2021s have turned out nicely here, despite significant losses to frost, with a few cuvées showing some of the aromatic exotica that can define the vintage; but the flagship Les Chevrières stands out as a particular success, the cooler season suiting this earlier-ripening site very well.
