Just lovely Maconnais cru - beautiful lemon, floral, and mineral notes, with lively acidity.

Steely Mersault-like Chard from just northwest of Mâcon. Good producer, decent value. Stylistically, I prefer the white Burgundy wines from farther south.

2012- nicly executed Vire-classe! Developes in the glass. Good expression of the region. Rich and well balanced. Good finish but as a lot of the wines from V-C it would gain with more acidity. Great value for the money!

Slightly flawed. Slight cork taint that miraculously decreased over an hour and gave way to the wine's qualities.

Lively and powerful. A little Lafon from on the balcony of our cabin at Jackson Lake lodge.
