Solid. Pear and apple, spice, some baked apples, nice freshness. One note and it does it well but it lacks some energy.

Signature aroma of apple blossoms. However, there’s a diffuse sort of soupy thing on the palate that gives the impression of very high yields. Were this négociant Mâcon, I’d give it high marks; but given that this is a pioneer of estate bottling in this region, I’m not as impressed.

Under ripened orchard fruit, lemons, and white flowers on nose and palate. Medium- complexity. Elevated and racy acidity added a lot of movement and texture to wine. Lacked fruit in mid-palate to balance everything. Fine finish. #thevenet #chardonnay #mâcon #ctbucklinwine

Delicious with lots honeyed apple and fruit. Easy and approachable with good richness. Great value for an area where it's increasingly rare.

Had 2020 vintage in ‘23.
Love this basic not-too-anything wine from WineThing.
