Fresh Chardonnay from the village of Chaintré, southwest of Mâcon. Vines are about 30 years old and rooted in clay and silex soils. Fresh, mineral, citrus, hints of lemon custard. Good acidity, subtly saline. Refreshing, easy to drink — 5 years ago

Astonishing find, single bottle from AA way back, powerful, subtle, complex, mouth-coating, yet lifted into long finish. Wow. From ‘30s vines and just missed 1cru due to slanted exposition. Stunner — 7 months ago

The single vineyard here was the Marchiori vineyard that Paul Hobbs made famous under the Viña Covid label. He used the Dolium winery for a few years before he opened his own. Still shows quite well. — 3 years ago

Spring 2021. 10 years is a great age for the denser Maconnais wines - enough time to develop richness and complexity but not so much as to fade all the fruit. — 5 years ago

Black violet; dense. Peppery raisin and blackberry scented, it exhibits hints of licorice black olive tapenade, portobello, and grilled rosemary and baked dark rye.
Dried blackberry, dried cranberry, raisin-black currant with intense extraction. Rich and powerful at this price point. The pepper re-emerges, and black plum, fine graphite, black olive and oregano, thyme, and lovely tannins that flow texturally throughout. Intense, with a long long finish.
