  I agree with previous notes. Our theme tonight was Maconnais, this showed extremely well. Complex nose, smooth palate, a bit less complex than the nose. But just a delight to drink.

  Classic Burgundy elegance, more lean and mineral than opulent. Pale lemon color. Nose is multidimensional with fresh butter, fresh lemon, wet stone, white flowers. The palate is more citrusy and mineral and not as complex. Fairly restrained use of oak. I love the balance it’s really good work. It has bright acid, medium body, 13.5% abv and lingering clean mineral finish. It’s a good introduction to white Burgundy and it’s decently priced

  Open, fragrant nose with notes of fresh fruits and white flowers. The mouth follows through on the same notes, with vibrant and fresh lime fruits. The finish is pleasant and refreshing. The wine shows and develops nicely in its primary youth.
  Typical of the single-village Macon style, this wine is unoaked and emphasizes the fresh fruit and floral character of the Chardonnay grape. It is fresh and clean with notes of white flower, Asian pear, lime and elegant minerality. Full of energy but not sharp, this is a dry white wine for light meals or just sipping with friends. This wine is extremely food friendly and also great as an aperitive. It will pair with a wide array of dishes including goat cheese, white fish and shellfish, roasted chicken and grilled vegetables.
