Wine of the Week:

Les Gentilhommes Chardonnay

Smooth, bright, and totally French

At Main Street Market, we’re all about wines with a little backstory—and this week’s pick is no exception. Les Gentilhommes Chardonnay is a crisp, beautifully balanced white that hails from the heart of Burgundy, France—aka the birthplace of great Chardonnay. Made by the talented folks at Vignerons de Mancey, this bottle is all about tradition, character, and that effortless French charm.

What makes Les Gentilhommes special isn’t just the grapes—it’s the people. This wine comes from a group of over 80 growers who’ve been working together since 1929 in southern Burgundy. Their name, which translates to “the gentlemen,” is a nod to farmers who cared about the land way before it was cool. Every bottle they produce feels like a little love letter to the region and its roots.

So what’s in the glass? It’s fresh and lively, with no oak—just pure Chardonnay. You’ll get bright notes of apple, pear, citrus blossom, and a clean minerally finish that keeps you coming back for more. It’s easygoing and elegant all at once.

Food pairings? Try it with one of our flaky croissants, a roasted chicken sandwich, or a lemony pasta tossed in olive oil and parmesan. It’s also a great match for soft cheeses like Green Hill or one of our creamy goat cheeses—simple and elevated.

Serving tip: Chill it to about 50°F or just pull it out of the fridge 20 minutes before pouring. That little bit of warmth helps bring out all the flavors.

✨ And here’s the best part: You can grab a glass of Les Gentilhommes Chardonnay this week only for just $8.50. It’s not on our regular wine-by-the-glass list, so this is your chance to try it while it’s here.

Swing by for a glass—or take a bottle home—and see why this French white has quickly become a market favorite. Cheers!
