Mâcon-Pierreclos Chardonnay 2021
Wow. Such a nice wine coming from humble origins. Needs some air to express itself. On the nose yellow lilies, apple blossom, almost a hint of jasmine, just ripe yellow apple, just ripe pear, a touch of fresh vanilla. On the palate, this really shines. Ripe orchard fruits, rich without being cloying. Blind I would place this as a village Meursault. Yellow apple, pear, touch almond, buttery and rich texture with minimal oak, crème brûlée; I’m assuming from skillful lees management . Good acidity, decent length. 13 abv. 24 usd at the grocery store. I haven’t seen ratings anywhere near where I’ve placed this, but maybe this is a product of a good vintage? Either way, huge fan — a month ago

Nice viscosity. Green apple, lime zest, lemon, kiwi, some light tropical syrup, caramel & butterscotch, honeysuckle, saline, sea fossils, volcanics limestone powder, fine chalk, white spice, light nuttiness, some wood notes, spring flowers, lilies, excellent, round acidity, well balanced, keenly structured, elegant & polished finish that lasts 90 seconds and lands on spice & minerality. — 7 days ago
