Wine Cellar - Undiscovered Gems from France, Spain, USA and beyond (Wine Cellar): (Tasted Blind) Light gold in glass with salt, cordite, minerals, and crushed stone aromas. The palate has a grippy, mineral character with bracing acidity and a touch of peach flesh and mandarin peel, giving some flesh to the mid palate. There is an appealing saline-led, acid frame, and the finish lingers with a hint of a salt lick. It is surprisingly complex for its designation, exhibiting a remarkable purity of fruit. Certainly better than a number of these Macons I have had Comtes Lafon, but possibly I find some don’t age, so instead enjoy them young.

Lots of acidity and tropical sweetness, a fantastic village. Punching way above its weight, minerality and balance. Crafted perfectly. And the line up from comtes lafon in macon seem to be all very interesting given what I have tried so far.

Give this one a few months to settle down, and you will be rewarded. Right now ,the flavor profile is dominated by oak and acid. Trust that 2020, and great producer has fruit in this wine. Worth a point or two more soon.

Room température, clean and mineral with little fresh fruit. No theme but a table wine, good value so far.
