Very pure, linear and precise. Citrus, slate, oyster shell. Bright acid - balanced and refreshing. Really young and much better after 3 hours. Decant early or sit on it for 3+ years.

Apr 27th, 2019Not one for me. Too soft and lacking tension. Ripe sweet fruit, think pineapples and candied lemon. I do like the smoky, flinty elements... Lighter at first, but grew with time.
Not one for me, but undeniably successful. It reflects the vintage, variety, and vineyard well. 2016 doesn't quite have that citric pucker, Maranches is a south-east facing vineyard in Mâcon, and the parcel contains the exotic "Muscat" Chardy. This wine bears all these qualities exceedingly well, and that we must acknowledge!
