| | “The Mâconnais has a number of cooperatives, but also several producers dedicated to making serious Chardonnay from vines planted on the region’s best parcels of limestone and clay soil. The potential of the area attracted Meursault’s Dominique Lafon, who purchased his first vineyards there in 1999. Since then, other well-known Burgundy names have followed, among them Domaine Leflaive and Louis Jadot. Today, these whites offer terrific value compared to their Côte de Beaune counterparts an hour north on the A6. When aligned with a fine vintage like 2014, they offer a frank fruitiness, along with beautiful textures and, in the best versions, a hint of mineral.” — Bruce Sanderson

90 Points Wine Spectator "Stony oyster shell accents underline the peach and ripe apple fruit in this rich, harmonious white. The structure shines on the finish, extending the flavors and adding a lemon zest note. Drink now through 2020. 500 cases imported.”— Bruce Sanderson
