Eric and Catherine Giroud Mâcon-Uchizy Vieilles Vignes 2018

Mâconnais, Burgundy, FranceThis Régionale level Bourgogne is part of the top 15% with a geographical designation, in this case, the village of Uchizy. This appellation can only produce chardonnay, and this organically farmed one comes off older vines rooted in clay over limestone. This was fermented cool in stainless where it remained on lees until bottling. Quite direct and open up front, charming with a flick of reduction, bright lemon, perfumed pear, river stones that quickly run a slender palate through a buzzing finish. There's a power and depth and energy to this likeable wine, encouraging drinking now (though it will hold a couple of years in your cellar easily).Tasted: 30 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
