Big enveloping nose of ripe lemon, meyer lemon, minerals, and some earthy funk and maybe also some attractive BO? Yes, that feral human stank is there ever so slightly. Palate has huge acidity, density and structure. Gorgeously mineral and sapid and showing great complexity. Concentrated, dense and powerful. Enormous structure. Awesome.

Big, ripe and very expressive nose. Apple, hint of buttery richness. Very clean. Lovely gout de terroir. Wafting minerals. Some feral funky aromas as well but it all works. Pure and distinctive. Palate is rich, ripe and racy. Great freshness and a nice elegant structure. Good grip as well. A crystalline purity as well and good length. Was a poor value with tariffs but now it’s a great value.

Our only Macon and it’s a doozy. Latest vintage is terrific. Superb minerality. Almost obnoxious how in your face mineral it is. But it’s so pretty and so distinct you fall for it. Green Apple. Lemon. So classic. Crunched rock dust. Floral. A field. Really smells like a place. Just gorgeous aromas. Lemon tree. Palate is super juicy and dense. Tastes like a big 3 village in Côte de Beaune. Dense and structured. So fresh and so energetic. Wow. This echoes. Ample richness but followed by that Apple electricity. It tastes likes electrified apples. Long and juicy. This is terrific Macon and can compete with Chassagne etc up north.

As it airs there is a confectionary, treacly, texture and the minerals sweeten. This is divine. Maybe a 9.4. We will see. It’s teetering.

Wow this is well made. So crisp and clean and not overdone.

Nose is a bit of smoke and minerals

Palate is super Crisp and acidic. Green apple with a hint of papaya.

Really well made.

Aromatic symphony of higher pitched lemon, porous oak, and perfumey white flowers. Deep vanilla bourbon butterscotch and Meyer lemon. Sour and soft. Powerful big stuff.
