  Catherine et Pascal Rollet Macon Solutre-Pouilly Domaine de la Chapelle 2007

  Snoothrank:

  On the nose, this has a steely character with just the slightest touch of butter and banana in the background. Maybe a hint of chlorine. In the mouth there's some sour apple. The whole wine is pretty medium from start to finish. Solid but not exciting.

  Catherine et Pascal Rollet Macon Solutre-Pouilly Domaine de la Chapelle 2007

  Snoothrank:

  pale lemon color; lemon citrus, green apple, minerals on the nose; medium bodied, not much fruit character on the palate with steely acidity, a bit out of balance -- it's not bad, but i'm lacking anything interesting to say about it

Read moreFrench Country Wines at Everyday Prices We test tend to sample a lot of ... 2007 Domaine Auvigue Macon Solutre $17.99 This is simply wonderful Chardonnay full of rich orchard fruits edged with citrus tones in a fresh, juicy style that reveals lovely hints of mineral, hazelnut and white flowers on the finish. This is simply delicious and is sure to please every palate! Chateau la Roncheraie Cuvee Prestige 2005 $22.00 Coming from one of the last refuges of moderately priced Bordeaux, this Merlot based blend offers up rich and complex aromatics with great earthy toned black currant and black cherry fruit. Medium bodied with great acidity and a wonderful fresh feel from the ripe yet mouth-grabbing tannins that are a hallmark of this outstanding vintage. 2005 Couly-Dutheil Chinon Cuvee La Baronnie Madeleine $19.99 A classic Cabernet Franc combining dark cherry and spicy berry notes with sweet herb, olive and tomato notes. Really shines with a few hours of air offering sweet dark fruits balanced by cleansing acidity. A brilliant match for our garlicy grilled chicken and Cassoulet! 92 points from the Wine Spectator.

That's the name of the game here with a sublime entry of apple-citrus, fresh creamery butter and liquid quartz mainline mineral. This is a fabulous wine that attains a much higher plain then its humble appellation reveals. A palate that is crisp and polished with perfect lift and golden apple, creme brulee and fresh fig vying for prominence. Very elegant and precise. You could easily pay double.    (hide)
