Loads of chalky, earthy minerals mix with straw- inflected pear and apple fruit. Rich and deep, with very good acids for a Macon. Not super complex but doesn't cheat on character. Excellent value.

Great, minerally bright nose. Stones, fresh hay, pears and apples. Very intensely flavored, very minerally and pure. A tad more acid and this would be amazing. But as is it's very good.

Lemon, lime, wet stone, white spring blossoms. A kiss of saline.

2014 Vintage. 12% Alcohol. Another great Garagiste value.

2014 Vintage. 13% Alcohol. Lovely minerality and lemon citrus with just enough acidity. 1 cup into tonight’s cheese fondue which was excellent.

Marvelous Chardonnay from Beaune, Burgundy. Impeccably balanced.
