Mâcon Charnay, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France
Just a flabby, poorly made and basically undrinkable village chard.

Creamy and full on the palate.
A bit forgettable but a nice QPR nonetheless.

At my first taste of this I thought 'Wiw this is a good value Mâconnais at $21 retail' I was drinking it on the warmer side of cool- 50-60 deg F. It was distinct in aromas and captured the limestone sight very well. The next time I met this wine it was served refrigerator cold and my perception changed completely - like going from a 90 point wine to a cheap bulk imitation missing a lot of the nose and the limestone softness which was overcome by an acidity of bulk wine quality. I have a hard time believing it's the same wine from the same year. There is going to have to be a 3rd sample- this mystery can't remain unsolved.

Light without being shy. Minerals dance well with the seared scallops. Yum

Lemon, round, minerally, white flower, pretty long finish. Vanilla notes, medium body. Satisfying, yet not extraordinary in any way. Just plain enjoyable.

Interesting... a tad acrid on the nose, good acid, lingering finish, pretty buttery, not my favorite
