Burgundy 2011 Day 4: Visit to Domaine Nicolas Maillet (Macon, Burgundy): This was really quite nice. Very attractive nose here, with whiffs of spice and mineral, sweet musky fruit, some pink grapefruit hints and slightly honeyed notes all in a nice fresh bouquet. Nice palate too. Tons of sunny Macon fruit here, with more pink grapefruit flavours, green mangoes, a dose of pineapple juice, pinpricks of spice. All fun, fresh and fruity, with just that little lick of mineral at the end. It lacks some length, but this had so much succulent fruity deliciousness that this was easily forgiven.

Nice fruit of passionfruit melons and honey dew. Also mineral and stony. Clean pure cool temperate fruits with white peaches and sweet nectarines
