Pale yellow in colour with golden highlights, this wine reveals ripe lemon aromas underlined with bright pineapple notes characteristic from the vintage. The palate is fresh, balanced by a smooth texture. The finish is long supported by a delicate salinity.

The lieu-dit "Sous la Roche" is located below a border of rocks overlooking the coast at this point. The 35 years old vines are grown on chalky soils with some limestone strips. Macon-Igé is located after a short interruption south of the Côte Chalonnaise, the vineyards lay around the town of Tournus. This region is a great producer of primarily white wines. One out of three bottles of white Burgundy comes from the Mâconnais.

Jean-Claude Boisset is a family-owned wine company founded in 1961. Jean-Claude’s first parcel of land was located in Gevrey-Chambertin and today the company is based in Les Ursulines, a former convent in Nuits-Saint-Georges, and run by his children Jean-Charles and Nathalie. Grégory Patriat, who had previously worked at the legendary Vosne-Romanée producer Domaine Leroy, joined in 2002 to revitalise and reinvent the house. He transformed Boisset into a ‘viniculteur’, working closely with the growers, guiding the wines from vine to bottle to achieve the desired quality. In 2018, they opened a new state-of-the-art winery, which reflects their modern, technical approach to winemaking.
