Good solid Macon in peak drinking window. Lemon and chalk dominates the nose, with a touch of (now integrated) oak. Crisp finish with nice acidic bite. Needs 15mins in a glass for the flavours and body to pick up - when a nice richness with mild butter. Less impressive than my house Lafon Macons, but still a QPR steel. I would recommend drinking this in next 2 years (i.e. 2014/15)

Betydelig eik ved åpning, men samtidig minerlaitet og syre som ikke gjør det uholdbart. Fin fyldig kropp, god viskøs munnfølelse. Slett ingen dårlig vin, heller ikke spesielt interessant, men den gjør akkurat det den skal, har nok utviklet seg noe med årene og er et flott budsjettalternativ til dyrere burgundere -- satt fint både til sjøkrepsrisotto og en moden soumaintrain. Lite utvikling med lufting på karaffel, men noe eikepreg på ense blåste bort. 87-88

The usual kind of lightly-yeasty, floral/fruity Chardonnay smell. Same goes for the taste, but it also has light dough and butter notes. Somewhat fuller body than expected (which is a good thing). Not much more interesting than many cheap white wines.
