We were looking for a chardonnay to serve at our upcoming wedding, but neither of us like the typical California buttery flavored chardonnays. We prefer the crisper French style, but thought our guests may want something that's a little more in the middle of the two styles. Joseph Drouhin is a great producer and when I saw this village level Macon for $12 I thought it would be worth a shot.
The color of the wine was a nice golden color. The aromas are subtle, but they are nice components of apple, lemon, minerality. At first, I thought I smelled some "butter", but it quickly subsided and let the fruit shine.
The flavors were great. It was a light creamy wine, but the apple, lemon and stone flavors were perfect for appetizers or salads. Great summer sipper at the price. Good entry level white burgundy.
If you're coming to the wedding you can taste it then.
I was hoping for a Rueda at the wedding!!!
