Tasting notes
Produced from a blend of his estate wines coming from the communes of Uchizy and Chardonnay, the roasted spice and pear-scented 2003 Macon-Villages (white) is soft, supple, and easygoing. Friendly flavors of poached pears can be found in this extroverted effort. It should be drunk over the next 2 years. Importer: Daniel Johnnes/Jeroboam Wines, New York, NY; tel.

Sophisticated for the price. Very fine, focussed, sleek, top-quality nose. Much riper than usual, but definitely a cut above most at this price. (JR)
