Very nice Macon - struck match dominates the aroma, and then broad mouth filling flavour, crisp peach and light lemony acidity, savoury mineral finish. Mouthwatering. Infinitely superior to standard Maconnais wines, and excellent value at around £16/bottle.

Bit of a disappointment this - quite thin and dilute, although the aroma and flavour that does come through is pleasant enough. Marginally better with food - although nothing strong flavoured. I bought a case of this because I had enjoyed the much better 2012 vintage. But the rest of this case will be for drinking up quickly, as I can’t see it improving.

Decanted for a couple of hours. Deep cherry colour, forest floor on the nose, with a little smoke. Some tannin still evident, dark fruit, savoury and quite a long finish. No rush to finish drinking this - at its prime now, but will hold for a few more years.
