The Talmard Dynasty
As far back as the 17th century, the name of Talmard could already be found mentioned in viticultural records of the time. From generation to generation, successive owners have all played their part with expertise and determination. And so Talmard wines have acquired a solid reputation which has never faltered. In 1997, Paul Talmard handed on the baton to his daughter Mallory and his son-in-law Benjamin, who have successfully taken over from him.
Skill and love of the vine are still the watchwords of the Talmard family. In 14 years, the business in Uchizy has flourished in the hands of the couple: wine production on the 31 hectares wine estate has increased from 150,000 to 280,000 bottles
The Talmards grow their grapes in a picturesque arable area in which grapes and wheat are grown in about equal measure. They make a superb value Mâcon that has rich, citrussy fruit and creamy texture. Not only is the grape variety used called Chardonnay but it also comes from the village of Chardonnay!
