Community Tasting Note

    January 28, 2023 - 13% alcohol. Long cork of vg quality. Light gold luminous colour.
    The nose is reticent, with some floral notes. The mouth is better with good vivacity and some yellow fruit, but still lacking in character and intensity.
    Correct and innocuous but understated to a fault. Very far below the best renditions of Mâconnais Chardonnay, even in the most modest AOCs. That said, the wine is in vg condition and it could last another few years; however, I don't see it improving, the stuffing simply ain't there. I can't help wondering about the yield (the "rendement butoir" is a very comfortable 70hl/ha like in Chablis).
    This bottle probably ended up in my cellar when I found myself short as a result of the first Covid emergency. Well stocked up now, and so this wine is not a repeat purchase.
