A favorite Macon Chard. Tart green apple, hint of citrus, wet rock, crisp acidity, rich and full bodied with no new oak. — 17 days ago

Blason de Bourgogne – Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay 2015
Mâconnais, Burgundy, France 🇫🇷
Overview
Mâcon-Villages is often considered the “gateway” to Burgundy whites, made for freshness and early drinking. What makes this bottle remarkable is its survival—cellared for a decade, it defies expectations for such an entry-level Chardonnay. Proof that even modest Bourgogne whites can occasionally surprise.
Aromas & Flavors
Candied baked pear, hints of honey, and touches of bruised apple. Some oxidative tones, but still carrying a thread of orchard fruit brightness.
Mouthfeel
Rounded and softened with age, medium-bodied, and gently waxy. Less about crispness now, more about mellow textures and faded fruit.
Food Pairing
Best suited for soft cheeses (Brie, Délice de Bourgogne), roasted chicken, or simply enjoyed contemplatively on its own for its curiosity factor.
Verdict
Not the most refined or expressive, but undeniably fascinating—especially given it was crafted for youthful freshness. A gentle reminder that Chardonnay, even from humble origins, can age with surprising grace.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight: Zero expectations, but cellaring proved me wrong—this modest Macon-Villages still showed character after 10 years. Cheers! — a year ago

Found this forgotten bottle at the bottom of my Burgundy section in my cellar. Drank this at release and then thought: forget this a couple of years. That couple of years became 8, and today a completely different wine has emerged in the glass. Golden color and aged nutty Burgundy tones emerge. This is a wine that has a little bit of residual sugar but today's bottle has integrated it into the wine which makes it way less obvious. Still a rich tropical profile but there is enough fine filligrine acidity to support and bring balance. I think this is just past peak, so I'm going to drink my other bottles soon. Awesome wine and still relatively affordable. Worth seeking out. — 2 days ago
