Le Chai Duchet Macon Villages (750ml)
I love Chardonnay in all of it’s stylistic incarnations and have been consistently happy with Le Chai Duchet’s Macon-Villages. It is a classically styled Chardonnay from Southern Burgundy that I can actually afford and that I can drink anytime, no matter what my mood or occasion thanks to its wonderful balance. The organically grown (though not certified) grapes are fermented in stainless with indigenous yeasts and there is minimal use of SO2 during and after winemaking. The fruit is ripe, though not tropical, think apple and pear, with just the right amount of fresh yeasty notes on the nose and palate from some lees contact. This wine captures the effortlessness and subtle elegance of French style in a glass; timeless, elegant and always fashionable!

Chardonnay is my favorite …..I am very much enjoying Canadian Chardonnays these days from BC, Niagara and Prince Edward County…..especially Closson Chase. But if given my druthers a Burgundy Chard would never be turned down….but so many are out of the everyday $$$ drinking bracket…ie Montrachet and Pouilly- Fuisse….and then there is Le Chai Duchet Macon Villages….great price with that Burgundian taste…more pear than apple, nice balance with the oak…some minerality with a good finish….great for summer!. And the price is affordable.
