July 1, 2021 - I have tasted this wine over many years and it is normally pretty reliable, despite being an obviously very large volume production. Not so sure this time. Some fragrance on the nose. Citrus on the palate with hints of pear and more ‘tropical’ fruits but a bit flat and bland for me. I think there are Macons at this price point with more character. This is easy drinking and slips down but is really not memorable.
A couple of hours after opening and with food (grilled white fish with Jersey potatoes) it improved. My wife liked it. I have raised my score a little.
A second bottle a couple of days later was OK but no more than that. Mass-market Macon with limited character to my palate. 86-1 person found this helpful 1,745 views

(Check wine-searcher’s Vendors & Reviews pgs for “pro” input.) 😉
