Mâcon-Chardonnay Climat Les Crays 2016
This had just been bottled and not surprisingly there was a whiff of unabsorbed sulfur sitting atop the citrus, apple peel and soft floral nuances. There is good punch to the delicious and attractively textured flavors that conclude in a nicely dry if somewhat fruit-driven finale. To enjoy young.

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
