Domaine Clos des Rocs
Mâcon Loche Chardonnay



2019 vintage. Good concentration, showing a floral, honeyed, tropical side that I don't usually find at this level. Ripe pineapple, juicy apple, honey, cantaloupe, little bit of creme brulee. Very fresh with juicy acidity.

impressive - oxidized nose of grilled pineapple, spicy oak, dill, toasted nuts, golden delicous apples, some orchard fruit, lanolin, on the palate it was big & oily, silky & sexy, flavors from nose translated well. long finish, regal bearing - Macon represents great value, but this is on a slight decline so drink up!

Affordable burgundy that is terrific with food. Lush mouthfeel, not strong on nose and fruit but terrific long citrus finish

Wow! I did not expect such a rich, juicy, wine when I bought this Chardonnay. Really expresses the soil minerality, which is usually easier for me to detect in a Sauvignon Blanc. This wine helped strengthen my preference for Burgundy as one of the best white wine regions in the Old World. Was delicious on its own, and would pair wonderfully with roast chicken or turkey.
