Made in the top region of Burgundy, the wine is a cuvée (blend) from several vineyards: Côte d'Or, Chalonnais, and Saint Vérand. One half of the wine is vinified and aged in oak barrels to give it that rich, buttery roundness, while the other half is made in stainless-steel tanks to retain the fruit flavors. Choose a glass with a large, generous bowl that will collect its rich aromas and glisten like a liquid gold ornament.    (hide)

The 2005 Macon-Pierreclos is a satisfying, round, harmonious Chardonnay displaying lots of yeast, browned butter, and roasted nut notes on top of a spicy roasted-apple-like core of fruit. There is a touch of pineapple and candied citrus fruit also, but the dominant sensory components are spice and lees as opposed to fruit. I would recommend drinking this wine in the next year or two as it seems fully soft and developed    (hide)

  Corinne & Thierry Drouin "La Roche" 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Nutty and toasty nose. Big rusty smoldering nutty flavor that's nicely offset by a good deal of acidity. Nice complex finish.

  Corinne & Thierry Drouin "La Roche" 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Apples and cream permeate this wine. Though there is a little bit of heat on the finish, it's definitely not abrasive and mixes well with the butter and acidity. Very smooth, thick mouthfeel making this wine a meal in and of itself. Almost.

  Snoothrank:

  Really soft and buttery texture, with essences of caramel and toffee. Just a little too rich for me, but I appreciate the complexity and acidity.

Read moreSoft nutty oak and spice notes meld with the ripe orchard fruits on the nose. Big apple and Asian pear fruit notes with a wild flower top note. This is surprisingly soft and expansive in the mouth with a lush feel and golden fruit notes that envelope the aromatic oak and spice notes. Very soft an easy going with nice Chardonnay fruit but this sacrifices a bit of height for breadth in the mouth. The finish is driven by a nice two-toned fruit and spice interplay that is subtle but with decent length. 88pts    (hide)

  Domaine Talmard Macon-Chardonnay 2008

  Snoothrank:

  my new house white - pale lemon color; nose of lemon-lime citrus, minerals, flint and subtle toasty oak; well balanced and vibrant on the palate -- nothing too fancy, but really good for 10 bucks
