Les Macherelles Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2020
2020 vintage. This producer usually features a bit more oak than I prefer for white Burgs but the underlying mineral strata/acidity/concentration cloaked it very well. Drinking beautifully now and for the near future. 07.06.25. — 5 months ago
Domaine Jacques Carillon
Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2020
Sometimes I just open a quality bottle for no real occasion, and today is one of those days. The nose and opening palette is pretty standard for white burg - lemon, green apple, saline minerals. But what sets this apart is the incredible finish - ethereal complexity of dried apple, apricot, almond, subtle oak, bitters, lemon zest and delicate citrus. Tame acidity that opens up over time . Feels very light (despite 13.5% abv), refined and elegant. Deserves to be served on its own, maybe with some herbed and salted nuts. But I’m having it with Goodles parm mac n cheese and Zapp’s Voodoo chips. It’s divine :) — 9 months ago

Bourgogne Aligoté 2018
Subtle with some wet stones, minty herbs, a shy hint of orchard apple. A whiff of mushrooms undergrowth. Quite cool and with nice energy.
Nice mouthfeel with juicy, vibrant acidity, a mineral, salty, energetic backbone and almost a hint of tannin.
Savoury, herby, juicy, fresh. Excellent with some appetizers, so food friendly.
Light be a bit austere for sipping alone, delicious nonetheless! — 4 years ago
