Wines included
François d'Allaines, Bourgogne Blanc Côte Chalonnaise 2023
In the warm 2023 Burgundy vintage, this complementary blend of three different vineyards worked very well indeed, retaining lovely freshness. Barrel fermented and matured but bright, fresh and balanced.
Domaine Bonhomme, Mâcon-Villages Vieilles Vignes 2023
Ripe yet refreshing Burgundy with aromas of white peaches. Balanced on the palate, with a long finish for a wine of this price.
The Society's White Burgundy 2024
A fine, dry white Burgundy from the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy, the warmest part of the region. The wine is ripe and round, with flavours of apple and stone fruit, a hint of citrus and a lovely streak of minerality. The quality of the wine reflects the deep involvement in its selection by successive buyers and the skill of our ‘man on the ground`, Jean-Marc Darbon, who excels in sourcing the right blending options for us to work with. The zander (sandre in French) thrives in the rivers of Burgundy and is shown on this wine`s new label. It has a fine flavour because its carnivorous and so is much superior to that of weed-eating fish. It`s as good as wild brown trout to eat and appears frequently on menus in Burgundian restaurants. Don`t hesitate to try it.
Domaine Mallory et Benjamin Talmard, Mâcon-Villages 2024
2024 was a cooler year. This has an attractive melony flavoured palate with a fresh finish. The grapes are cool fermented in stainless-steel tanks and kept on their fine yeast lees for added complexity.
Maison Jean-Marc Aujoux, Mâcon-Villages 2024
Light appley aroma and flavour. A balanced wine that is ripe yet fresh, with some minerality, from the coolish 2024 vintage. This is made from vineyards near the village of Saint-Maurice-de-Satonnay and is supplied by the producer of our White Burgundy, Jean-Marc Aujoux. No capsule to save packaging.
Domaine Gonon, Mâcon La Roche Vineuse 2024
Fresh and pretty Mâcon from a small perfectionist domaine. Apple and melon spectrum of flavours. Unoaked.
