2021 MÂCON VILLAGES Domaine Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France 13.5% White

Two thirds Macon Fuissé and one third Macon Vergisson, the latter having been so badly frosted there was not enough to make a cuvée on its own. Good fruit density, easy and attractive from the off, with an...(read more)

2020 SAINT VÉRAN à la Côte Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau
Mâconnais Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
The vineyard here is heavy with iron oxide, and high up the slope at over 400m. Facing south, it is arguably best in cooler vintages where Frantz can allow for long hang time on the vine. Again he uses no new wood, but b...(read more)
