Another interesting producer from Macon, a region that I've liked most of the wines that I've tried and which is still relatively under the radar. From old vines, the long elevage and good use of new oak gives it a ripe luscious mouthfeel. Rich honeyed fruit but still retains a puckering acidity, very impressive detail in the wine. Still too young for me, will try to seek more of this out.

4*+7.8+4.5*+8+8*+4*+4*=91+; This was good across all temps. Initially opened bottle at room temp, but 2nd day was at refer temp and allowed to also warm in glass. Really amazing, pleasing wine. Light golden color. Low aromatics, but pleasant floral with a bit of pear. Very nice drinkable mouthfeel across all temps. Flavors also somewhat muted, but smooth and aligning with the aroma. Medium, clean, lightly crisp finish. Well-balanced and likely to have several years left. Would be interesting to try one in 5-10 years to pick up on some aged characteristics, but it is really light and delicious right now, so nothing wrong with drinking in the next couple of years!

Tasted at the Domaine with Camille Thibert from a bottle opened and re-corked 5 days prior. Light to medium lemon yellow in color and has a very fragrant and complex nose showing white florals, citrus, crushed stones, smoke and hazelnuts. The palate is rich an yet very bright with acidity with ripe white peach, lemon zest, and cream with a slightly smokey and saline finish. This wine is bright and energetic as well as complex, balanced and layered. A wonderful wine and one that will likely get better with 5+ years of additional age. Delicious
