We are frequently asked for "great value" white Burgundy's in the $20-ish price point.
Wines like the 2018 Clos des Rocs Macon-Loche "En Pres Foret" hit the sweet-spot of such a request.
And.... "There are whispers that Burgundy 2018 is one of the greatest ever vintages." Decanter, Tim Atkins
In a typical vintage, Clos de Rocs is exceptional - in 2018, it's extraordinary!
Green apple, quince, Comice pear, and citrus are all supported by a juicy focused frame of acidity. Wonderfully textured, this is a classically made Macon with a tangy, zesty finish marked by the village's limestone soil and crushed oyster shells.
Within Burgundy, the district of Macon-Loche (within the Maconnais) offers some of the best values. The tiny village of Loche is one of the great terroirs of the region. Procuring wines from there is rare!
From grilled halibut, to grilled prawns, or simply with your favorite salad, you can easily enjoy this humble beauty with a wide variety of cuisine.
Like all well made whites, we suggest enjoying this Chardonnay on the warmer side of cold to allow the vibrant fruit to shine.
This Chardonnay best-seller (and best value) is shipping next week.
Enjoy!
