I technically know why there is no Premier Cru in Pouilly-Fuisse, but there really should be. Just reviewed a Beauj Blanc and compared to Macon, but this is the real deal.

ML isn't overpowering, but evident with the body and less butter. Believe it's 50/50 old and stainless, so it has the creamy body without dropping the acidity for butter. Very lovely texture. Has green orchard fruit, yeasty notes from lees contact, ripe meyer lemon and pithy tones. It's a game Macon. I really want trout right now.

Old school, balanced and level headed- your church secretary in a cardigan and pearls. Perfect for a trout amandine.

Half bottle. Very nice and crisp, and pretty much you get what you expect with this wine.

Smooth and balanced. Somewhat subdued at this point. I wonder what a little bottle age would do for it

A very pleasing Chardonnay. Not heavy, buttery or overoaked, but very distinctly Chardonnay
