ABOUT THIS WINE
Pound for pound, we've never come across a better-value white. One which offers such expressiveness, such a degree of delicacy, purity and an intensity of unoaked chardonnay aromatics and flavours. Our customers certainly agree.
A price point that wont get you nearly so far in Puligny-Montrachet (where you can easily double that figure). Instead, you get pure expression of some of the finest terroir in this lesser-known Mâcon region. So fine, in fact, that the Uchizy village and environs were granted their own village-specific appellation. And when this terroir is harnessed by Benjamin and Mallory Talmards expertise, the results - especially at well under £20 a bottle - are irresistible.
Tasting Note
Beautifully weighted; balanced, fruitforward in style, deliciously moreish. Slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks has retained a purity of fruit, where extra time on lees imbues a greater depth of flavour and delicate texture in the palate. Unoaked for a of pronounced citrus, melon and peach, with a backdrop of delicate tropical fruit. The palate is fresh and zesty with soft, fleshy white stone fruit, citrus and melon, leading to a delicately textured, lengthy finish.
