Our Professional Reviews
Rand Sieger, 67 Wine Buyer: This 100% Chardonnay comes from vineyards in the village of Mâcon-Chardonnay, one of the villages allowed to append its name to the Mâcon appellation. An outstanding fresh white with aromas of quince and white stone fruits and a delicate touch of oak. Great pairing with soft-ripened cheeses or white fish.
Bart Hopkins, 67 Wine Buyer: The 2023 Mâcon-Chardonnay is the inaugural vintage of this wine from renowned Puligny-Montrachet winemaker Alain Chavy and his son Corentin. The grapes are sourced from various growers and vinified at the family cellar in Puligny under their care and guidance. Clean and refreshing with lovely Chardonnay white fruit character and floral complexity. Medium-bodied with a nice lift of acidity on the long finish.

Tasting & Pairings
Quince, white stone fruits, floral notes, and a delicate touch of oak. Clean, refreshing, and medium-bodied with bright acidity and a long finish. Serve well chilled.
- Roasted chicken or grilled white fish — the wine’s freshness and weight are a natural match.
- Soft-ripened or creamy goat cheese — complements the stone fruit and floral character.
- Pasta with garlic-butter sauce — enough body to stand up to a light cream preparation.
