Burgundy, France
2015v. Pours gold. Soft tropical fruit on the nose, like mango and pineapple, a little peach, and wet stones. On the palette, there's a little minerality with a very dry, if not slightly salty, finish. Not getting any oak (if there is any used, it's probably neutral). Overall, it's kind of flat. 13% ABV. I prefer their Mâconnais more, which is a little lighter bodied but more elegant and fragrant. It's also a dollar cheaper.

Aug 15th, 2014Chablis - crisp, citrusy when cold; subtle oak butter aftertaste as it warms; gets rather dry at room temperature. Liked warmer initially, since I'm usually into really oaky and buttery Chardonnays, but it was overkill for me personally after one glass - would like it more as a substitute for a Pinot Grigio on a summer evening perhaps, or maybe that's just the Visigoth in me speaking...
