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

Interesting notes of wax, marzipan, nutty, oak.

Wow. Such a nice wine coming from humble origins. Needs some air to express itself. On the nose yellow lilies, apple blossom, almost a hint of jasmine, just ripe yellow apple, just ripe pear, a touch of fresh vanilla. On the palate, this really shines. Ripe orchard fruits, rich without being cloying. Blind I would place this as a village Meursault. Yellow apple, pear, touch almond, buttery and rich texture with minimal oak, crème brûlée; I’m assuming from skillful lees management . Good acidity, decent length. 13 abv. 24 usd at the grocery store. I haven’t seen ratings anywhere near where I’ve placed this, but maybe this is a product of a good vintage? Either way, huge fan
