(From magnum). This continues to surprise and delight. So rich and buttery it really needs to be drunk with food, it holds its own with surprising ease with strongly flavoured English ham. A light golden colour, the fruit is still as available as ever, and age is only slowly creeping up on it. No hint of caramel at all yet. Wonderful, and in my experience, a unique expression of Macon / Chardonnay.

This is an extraordinary wine. It is so rich and opulent it is difficult to drink on its own. However, paired with turkey, as we did tonight, it demonstrates an amazing ability to work with the food. There is pineapple, basil and butter on the palate, but in a way the individual flavours should be ignored as you pay tribute to a style that I have not seen anywhere else in Burgundy, let alone Macon. Try it, and I hope you love it. You may not, but this is so different from the norm, you should definitely have a go.

Have had better vintages. Somewhat bitter. Slightly past its prime from magnum

Ripe fruit, pineapple, lemon, white pepper, very dense, nearly oily, excellent stuff, this was my last one. I think it can still age for years.
